What does no solid infill over perimeters do?

[blex-max]

Hi All,

I'm finding the tooltip for no solid infill over X perimeters very confusing, and I've never actually been able to work out what it does - can someone enlighten me? If it would be helpful I'd be happy to assist with rewriting tooltips into more natural English as I'm sure that's a time drain for the project.

Thanks!

Hmm ok, I understand the problem it solves, but I still can't work out how it does this. If it would be ok, could you perhaps explain it to me in French and I will consult with my Francophone colleagues?

As for helping with doc, is that something I should create a pull request for? I'll try to give some time to it.

It checks how many perimeters there are under it (or over it, depends if it checks for bottom or top shell). If there is enough then it removes the area from the list of "solid fill" and put it back into the list of "sparse infill".

In this picture:

if you set this setting to 2, then it can add solid infill in the "1" area (if there is at least 2 bottom layers) but won't in the "2" area.

Je peux l'expliquer en français mais je ne saurais pas trop quoi raconter d'autre.

Je comprends maintenant, merci beaucoup. Je pense que je peux le préciser dans les doc.

Excuse my bad French, and thank you for taking the time to explain this.

May I create a pull request for editing the doc?

yes
