Pretty sure this is incorrect. According to the settings in the Cura slicer (4.13.1) "skin" is always in reference to top/bottom "surfaces" and that is how I've always understood it. Sorry to bump an old post but for future reference a correction needed to be made. 😉

Hello Ultimaker community, I am experimenting with increasing, improving and optimizing 3d prints strength and finish. What I was wondering if there was a way to set the top layer to a deposition pattern different from the underlying layers; similar to the way you can set the bottom layer initial pattern separate from subsequent layers? Specifically referencing something like "line" to "concentric", vice versa or different combinations (with "line/zigzag", "zigzag/concentric", etc.) I know changing layer line direction/angles is possible per alternating layers, but going from line to concentric at the top layers (or in any) isn't available that I could find. If it isn't currently possible to change layer patterns per layer (other than the aforementioned way) I think I would be a easily implemented, and welcome, addition; that would add a increase to the structural strength of prints. If this is already possible could someone please instruct me?
