Solid layers with different infill patterns

Just installed Version 5.0 and am looking into the new features.

I saw the new infill patterns for the solid layers. Like the idea because it can make the top layers look better than before
However, when selecting concentric layers, it means that ALL the top layers will be printed in that way. Which will reduce the top layer strength of the print of course.
How can I get the settings set up so that only the top 1 or 2 layers are printed with the new smooth pattern but the underlying solid layers will still have the solid grid pattern for extra strength?

I tried to play with custom zones, but nothing seems to be happening.

Re: Solid layers with different infill patterns

You could define a separate process or processes to achieve that.
