What is going on
The warning comes from the same support check as "floating cantilever" (source). In our test it flagged a tip hanging under an arm: the tip starts below everything around it, so its first layer has nothing under it.
Separate parts that float above the rest are different: they leave layers with nothing in them, which Bambu Studio reports as an empty layer and refuses to slice.
What was actually wrong
How to fix it
- Slice with supports off and scrub the layer preview to find where a region starts in mid-air.
- Enable supports, or rotate the part so that region rests on the plate or on the layers below it.
- If the region is a stray piece that should not exist, delete it in your modelling program.
