I understand Spiralize has to be used on a single model. I am stacking parts on top of each other and just need to change the settings at the base of a single printed piece in the center of the build plate. It works well in Cura 2.5. But spiralize was taken out of per model settings after that version. There's been a lot of development since 2.5!
Ill try to explain the application.
I design and print a lot of lighting products. Think reflectors. At the base of these reflectors I need some fixings. Sometimes its just holes. Sometimes its a captive nut or a snap fit design.
So slicer wise, I need to print a base with some level of complexity, infill and retractions. Then straight on top of that base piece I need to print the reflector or body of a luminaire as a single wall with no Z-seam.
Regarding the adaptive layers - per mesh. Again I understand layer height has to be the same for all objects on the plate if they are separated. I am talking about stacking meshes on top of each other to be one printed piece.
Perhaps that is where the possibility of adding these settings back to per mesh lies.
Would it be possible to limit these settings in per mesh, to a single object but using a support blocker/overlapping, or some sort of 'changing settings at height' mechanism? That way it cant be asking cura to do the impossible with multiple seperate meshes in the build plate?

I miss the logic here. Spiralize is a concept that asks for a single object to be printed. Layer height, independent of being fixed or adaptive has to be the same for all objects on the build plate. And that is how the Cura setting works.
