Set direction for Top and Bottom layer skin extrusion direction - like Cura has

Open Ltek opened this issue 1 year ago • 12 comments

Please have a setting equal to Cura (separate settings for Top and Bottom) for "Surface skin pattern and line directions" "The pattern can be set separately to get a different visual effect. If set to lines, the angle of the lines can also be set for more precise control."

Many parts visually looks better ensuring that the line direction is a specific way. Ensuring a specific line direction is not possible with Orca, even when you rotate the model since you cannot control Top and Bottom independently.

take the example very simple model which you cannot make have the lines go the same direction top and bottom. 252833349-ea4232bb-beaf-4935-a400-e10de52bbad8
