when building an objekt sometimes it would be nice to have an increasing higher infill towards the top, like starting with 3 solids, tan 10% infill and like the last infill layers 20 or 25 and than top 3 solid layers.

You can do this by using different print settings for different layers of the model.
Add another .fff file and set the layer to start printing at.
Be sure to tell the original settings to stop at the layer before.

You can do this already.
Import your model
Size and Arrange it.
Use the "Cross Section" tool on the Z plane to determine where you would like the change to start. We will just say 10mm for easy reference.
Add 2 Processes
Open Process #1
In the "Infill" tab set infill to 10%
In the "Other" tab check "Stop Printing at height" set the parameter to 10.00mm
Click Select Models in bottom left corner of the window.
Select the Model and hit OK.
Click Save
Open Process 2
In the "Infill" tab set infill to 25%
In the "Other" tab check "Start Printing at height" set the parameter to 10.00mm
Click Select Models in bottom left corner of the window.
Select the Model and hit OK.
Click Save
Any other changes you make that you want to continue through the whole print be sure to change in both.
Prepare and Preview to check your work.
