Vertex Map for support blocking/attention. Vertex Map controls where supports are placed on model.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

In other slicer software there is a "paint mode" for supports. It might be a long and tedious process to implement a painting system into Cura. So what I propose is to use an embedded vertex map in the model instead. That way. The map for the supports could be painted in a 3rd party 3d software like blender etc and when imported into cura those vertex maps could be used to favour/avoid support material.

Describe the solution you'd like

A "Use Vertex Map" feature in the SUPPORTS section of cura. Where a +100 value in a vertex map would favour or "attract" the supports. And a -100 value in the vertex map would avoid or "block" supports being generated on that part of the model.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the "Support Blocker" extension. However the amount of time and effort it took to manipulate and place up to 30 eraser cubes on my model just to get the supports to be blocked from where I don't want them was very tedious.

Affected users and/or printers

Everyone would be able to benefit from this feature.
