    Have you opened a support request through Simplify? Their product they are best qualified to answer.
    However, looks like not enough top/bottom layers.

    How many top and bottom layers do you have right now? Not the offset

    I do see that. Change the layers to 5 then report back. If we need to do more troubleshooting we will at that point.

    Oh yeah. Have the offset to high will leave gaps in lines. You want each pass to smash down Then the next line smash down and touch the previous line

    Yup, but it only fixed bottom layer. Top layer is still wavy and with gaps at a 0.5 z offset

    Z offset only affects the bottom layer. No other layers care about Z offset, I don't know S3D but can you change the % of overlap?
