Feature Request: Infill and Perimeter Bridging Overrides

On some small brdiges, from a pillar to another pillar for instance, it would be ideal to be able to override the infill and 'bottom' layer parameters. For instance, printing a bridge across a small gap: The perimeters will bridge perfectly fine, but the infill swizzle at 45° will fall through. Being able to override the infill parameters so that they're at 90°, or so that they just all act as perimeters (by turning up the perimeter number over bridges for X layers), would solve the problem and give the next few layers better support for regular infill.

I have just run into something like this. When printing a part where bridging is needed in the middle of a rectangle (fully surrounded by supporting features), it takes the standard infill orientation instead of the shortest route, which would achieve better results..

I have also recently experienced this 'bottom' bridging layer print with the part's infill percentage (<100%) instead of a solid layer.... :x

+1 for bottom layer tweaking. I was just printing something where I was wishing I could slow down the speed for those bottom layers that aren't on the bottom of the print.
