Top/Bottom Solid Layer <100% filled?

Sometimes I want a small Top/Bottom Solid Layer to be 50% filled.

Yes, I can replace the solid layer with a 50% Infill, but then I need to increase the Infill Percentage on the whole layer from preset 10% to 50%. It leads to big waste.

Is it possible to get Top/Bottom Solid Layer <100% filled? Thank you!

... the area you want to print so, must be a separate STL in a own process like Dual-print.
Or you must adjust your drawing as a grid.

If you want to print e.g. a filter from a solid cylinder or solid cube it suffers to set

- process 1 >>> perimeters high (e.g.10), NO bottom, NO top layers, Infill e.g. 15% Stop in Advanced at e.g.2 mm
- process 2 >>> perimeters low (e.g. 3), NO bottom, NO top layers, infill set to zero, Start in Advanced at 2 mm as high as you want

You get >>> have a look to the picture.
