Why aren't my bridges bridging?

Hello there!

I have designed a kind of box drawer (see first Photo). And yes, I could actually redesign or rearrange it, so that this problem doesn't occure, but I don't really want that, since I want to test the limitations of bridging.

I desinged the little rods underneath the actual ceiling to try to shorten the ceiling bridges and to make the hole printable. but they always come out as overhang wall whenever I slice (see photo 2).

Photo three shows the first ceiling layer sliced in AnycubicSlicer (since I have an Anycubic Printer), which also comes out as overhang Walls.

Last image shows the first ceiling layer in OrcaSlicer, which are in fact bridges, but I would have guessed tehi would go from rod to rod, not the whole way over. I Did not find any info about a maximum bridge distance or any settings, which could alter this behaviour. Does anyone have an Idea?

Edit: never mind, figured it out. The rods were too thin, so that they were all walls. Reduced the wallloops and made them thicker did the trick.
