change start stop location with only perimeter printed.

I have a very thin walled model that prints fine with just a single perimeter and zero infill. For cosmetic reasons I want to make the program start and stop each layer on the inside. Since there is no infill and there is only a single perimeter printing I'm unable to figure out how to tell S3D to start and stop on the inside perimeter. This model has a crucial part located on the inside perimeter and labels on the outside. If it wasn't for the inside part I thought I could redo the model to be solid and just choose two perimeter walls but that would not work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Vase mode? Or the Layer tab option "Choose start point closest to specific location" might work, depending on what you're looking to accomplish.

perhaps the location thing will work. I'll try that and report back.

Re: change start stop location with only perimeter printed.

It took some time but I was able to solve this when printing two models but if I add more than that it returns to the initial problem.
