Individual Diaphragms with thickness

I am working on a box with ribs in it, as in the photo. I want the floor of the box to be solid, even where the ribs start, which happens to be on layer 19. I do not want every 19th layer solid, just 3 layers, starting at layer 17 and up to 19.

I understand I can do this with three separate Processes, but it would be so much easier if there was an individual layer exception, much like with the Temperature Setpoints.

Thank you for considering this request.

Re: Individual Diaphragms with thickness

Any news on this?

Any suggestions on how to "easily" accomplish it?

Re: Individual Diaphragms with thickness

Use multiple processes. Make one that spans the 3 layers that you need to be solid and adjust your settings as needed. You can use the cross section tool to find the exact Z-values for the processes.

How does that work if the floor is on an angle?

Re: Individual Diaphragms with thickness

Then you can use the top solid layers
