Most of my parts would be categorized as "large parts that tend to warp".

Rafting has to be easy to peal off the bottom of your part or it's not a raft, it's an extension of the part.

Exactly what does the software do different between the top raft layer and the bottom part layer that makes it peal-able?

Aside from being able to set the temperature and cooling of individual layers there doesn't seem to be anything in the settings that would allow me to tweak the raft/part interface.

kaink & jimc, thank you very much for your attempts at helping me, are you users or part of the development team?

If you're not, is there anybody on this forum who is?

You will more than likely not get an answer from the development team. They don't respond to much on here.
Did you read the very first post in this section?

The software does nothing to make the raft easier to peel. The UP printers software does something like you speak of. You would have to build some special profiles for the base of your part to have something similar. It can be done pretty easy.
