Skirt Brim issue with multiple profiles

I was attempting to set differing brim for a set of parts in a plate I was printing and noticed that some of the settings are not respected/profile.

The number of Outlines and the number of Layers to print are not respected in profiles beyond the first one.
Try setting your brim to 3 outlines, 1 layer, 4mm from the part, then in a second profile on a second object, change the number of outlines to 6, 2 layers and zero distance from the part.

You will see the distance respected in the second part but you will end up with 3 outlines and 1 layer instead of 6 and 2.

This was something I was trying to do to deal with very small geometry for a few parts that were lifting, the rest of the plate didn't need all the extra outlines 4mm away from them, or any brim at all really.

Re: Skirt Brim issue with multiple profiles

I setup a print with those exact same settings and it works fine for me. Keep in mind that you have to keep the parts far enough apart that their brims won't overlap. If they get too close, they will use the same settings. So just move them farther apart, and you'll probably see that it starts to work.
