[ADDED] feature request skirt becomes brim

When I select a 0 mm offset and want 5 loops, like a brim, the skirt ends up colliding/internal to the part.

Can the skirt go outwards from the part perimeter, and thus be a brim?

I can manually offset it x-mm then increase the numbers heading towards the part until it's achieved.
To get it right, I get into an iterative loop, back and forth, with a lot of filename questions and confirmation and answering no to run. (would like to make that prompt go away personally)

Re: feature request Skirt change

I have a similar issue when i print a tall skirt and the part flairs out at the top the skirt molds into the part.

Re: feature request Skirt change

maybe if skirt is kept as only skirt, we can have a brim feature?

Re: feature request Skirt change

This was actually already on our todo list, but it wasn't done in time for v1.1.2. It definitely simplifies things for the user, so hopefully we can get it completed in time for the next update.

Thanks for the suggestion!
