Could Simplify3d generate a negative or inside model skirt?

Hi. I'm using Simplify3d a few months and getting a good results, thanks every one! :oops:

Now I´m tryng to make a Christmas tree, it's a kind of vase mode. It has a very big base and I wouldn't spent a lot of material. So I change the base layer to 0, but now I'm worry if the one layer thick is good enough to fix the object. I usualy use skirt with 0mm distance and 3 or 4 outlines to fix objects when it has a short contact area. But now I have only one layer thick, so figure out if I could add the skirt outlines inside the object insted of use outside. I tried to put a negative value, but doesn't work. Do anyone know how can I do that? or if Simplify3d could do it?

PS: If I use a skirt inside the vase it wil be not necessery to remove it after the print job. :D

thanks a lot :P

You could create a separate process for the first layer (or more if you want), give it 3 or 4 outline/perimeter shells and zero infill, then continue in vase mode..
