@Dr-Sassi Thanks for the quick reply. Really appreciate it.
I've opened a ticket with support as you requested. (I'm in LA as well)
It's a relief it's not just a silly button I'm miss-clicking and it seems to be an actual issue.
I'll keep exploring the PLA option, what do you mean by "no other option must be working on the mesh simultaneously."? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding. Do you mean while exporting to FBX or having PLA with something else?
