Just divide the tallest part's height by the layer thickness for builds that
don't auto-drain... are they evenly divisible by the blade sweep? (Are you
using more than one sweep per layer?) If not, move your tallest part up one
layer thickness. Don't forget to add that thickness to it's support height
or you might get a poor platform bond. That will get your blade to the front
of the vat at the end of the build. It still may not solve the problem
though...
Since I'm still using a dinosaur SLA 250, I don't need to worry about bugs
in the new buildstation software, I just didn't get any.

Hello my name Scooter and I am a computer geek.
If this proves to be the problem, now you just have to figure out a work
around (or deal with it till 3D Systems fixes the problem). Maybe a really
small .stl combined with the tallest part to give the run the right height
to have an even number of sweeps.
Cheers
