How do I do brim?

There's skirt and brim in the same section. I want a basic brim like you would get in Cura selecting Brim for adhesion type. Any ideas?

Cheers

Just set the offset to zero then make the layers and perimeters whatever you want

That works pretty good but last I checked there is still a bug where a 0 offset doesn't actually touch the model on the first layer if the model has any parts that overhang.

Sooo.....

I've worked around this by saving off a .2mm square and circle that I sometimes just import and scale in the x/y direction until it's big enough to fit the model. Same thing as a brim but touches the model if you needed that.

Dennis, it doesnt do that anymore. 0 offset will touch the base iff the model all the way around
