Had to start a new one, typo was bugging me. So found out that in mattercontrol if i have build support ON then the purge tower has the weird dive problem. Next issue is it is still purging strange, prints with extruder 1 then goes to purge and changes fillament, runs a layer from outside in, then swaps back to 1 runs another layer and starts back with the same fillament? Also having trouble knowing how far to feed the fillament when starting a new print

Have you tried KISSlicer? I've been using it for dual-extrusion printing for years, and it works great.

no I have not. I have been a little reluctant to change to it as I have tuned my printer and slicer to run great so far. I am willing to try but worried that I wont get it set up just right for my V3. do you know a good tutorial or set of instructions for the V3? what version to get or any other hints. I can set up all the basic printer specs just not sure what custom gcode I would have to enter, or other software setup.

KISSlicer has its own subforum here:

That's where I'd look for help.
