Ah see "skin" is a new term for me, but makes perfect since that "wall" would have a z axis equivalent.
So now my question is what am I doing wrong parameter wise that I am not getting a 0.06mm first(bottom) layer and/or 0.06mm last (Top) layer?
So currently under Shell
Extruder 1
Wall Thickness to 0.80mm
WalLine Count to 2
Top/Bottom thickness to 0.06mm
Top Thickness to 0.06mm
Top Layers to 1 (I have tried 0 to 10 with no change in sliced layers)
Bottom Thickness to 0.06 mm
Bottom Layers to 1 (Also 0 to 10 with no change)
Extruder 2
Wall Thickness to 0.80mm
WalLine Count to 2
Top/Bottom thickness to 0.80mm (This default, it was letting me change it but now it does not)
Top Thickness to 0.06mm
Top Layers to 0 (I have tried 0 to 10 with no change in sliced layers)
Bottom Thickness to 0.06 mm
Bottom Layers to 0 (Also 0 to 10 with no change)
Seems no mater what I do it results in 86 layers.
Not sure if I'm even in the right area.
I originally had extruder 1 and 2 both matching like Extruder 1 above. Since I have been playing around Extruder 2 wont let me change Top/Bottom Thickness from the default 0.80mm so not sure why that is.

Thanks you for responding gr5. I know that printing at .06mm is going to be tricky. It is just one piece of a multipiece project that I happened to design first, figured I start looking at Cura to start getting familier with it. But adventually I need to go there. I'll double check for first layer height.. I did find top and bottem height and tried adjusting them but he numbers of layers still remained 86. But am I right in thinking that it should slice to 90 layers?

I'm completely new to 3D printing. I'm slicing my first model and noticed something I am not sure I should be concerned about or not. I'm using a .06mm layer thickness, and my model is 5.40mm tall. When Cura slices it, preview says it will be 86 layers. 5.4/.06 equals 90. My concern is the model is made up a .06mm tall piece, stacked 90 times with a 2 degree rotation per stack. A screw of sorts. IF the preview is supposed to accurately show the slices then its missing 4.
Is this a normal slicing thing that happens?
OR
Is it an issue?
OR
Is there possibly a setting I'm missing that it is not following scale exactly in some way?
Thanks for any education and/or help.
Layer thickness x number of lays when sliced would not equal model height
in UltiMaker Cura

Sorry, I was on basic fuctions all this time, switched to Expert and the intial layer thickness you mentioned earlier popped up and upon changing that I got my 90 layers. That you for the your time and help Gr5. Gratelly appreciated.
