Internal Perimeter Bridging
Its great that bridging was adavanced for v5 but it left out the option for internal perimeters to be included. I do a lot of mold work and require bridging to be available for this, as a priority as even bringing it 2 separate pieces is painful

Re: Internal Perimeter Bridging
Internal perimeters are definitely included. For example, I just setup a 'T' shape part, went to Edit Process Settings > Other tab, and enabled the "Apply bridging settings to perimeters" option. After slicing you can clearly see bridging apples to both the inner and outer perimeters, as well as the infill.
For the screenshot you posted, the overhang angle is quite steep, so you are only seeing bridging being applied to the outer perimeter, since the inner perimeter is already fully supported by the layer below. If you printed something with a much more shallow angle where the inner perimeter does not have support from below, you will see bridging get applied to those perimeters as well.

Re: Internal Perimeter Bridging
Thanks so much for the reply
Maybe I got lost in the translation, I changed the angle of the noted areas because I originally wasnt getting bridge colours. I changed the draft angle back and it still doesnt seem to show bridging being applied

Re: Internal Perimeter Bridging
Correct - bridging is only applied to extrusions that are not supposed from below. For example, if you print a vertical cylinder there is no need to apply bridging settings to the perimeters since each one is perfectly supported by the layer below. If you have a very small 5 degree angle on the sidewall, then 90% of the perimeter is still supported, so there is still no need for bridging.
However, if the angle of the surface gets shallow enough that there is no support below that perimeter (meaning if you look at the layer below the perimeter there's nothing there), then it will use bridging. The reason you're not seeing bridging on some of your perimeters is that the sidewall is still very steep so there's no need to use bridging.
I'm going to move this to the troubleshooting section since internal perimeter bridging absolutely does already exist in V5, and you can see my post above for how to setup example prints that would use that feature.
