Poor transition between bottom - infill - top layers

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
In my settings I have 3 layers for top and bottom.
Each print I do, the fourth layer (which is the first infill layer) is printed in the same direction as the last bottom layer. This is normally not a problem, since the bottom layers are all solid and then the infill can be whatever is set. The problem becomes much more apparent when the first top layer is being printed in the same direction as the last infill layer as well.
Let's say I have infill set to 20%. When the first top layer is being printed in the same direction, this results in very poor adhesion.
I guess the question / request is, would it be possible to make sure that the transition between base - infill - top layers always alternates the directions?

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Oleg

Re: Poor transition between bottom - infill - top layers

One easy thing you can do is go to the Infill tab and change the infill angles. So if they are +45, -45 right now, change them to -45, +45. That will change the initial direction of the infill.
