[Improvement] combing mode options

[danielywoo 0]

There are two options "Not on outer surface" and "not in skins".

"not in skins" is easy to understand, which implies combing happens in walls and infills.

But what is "outer surface"? inner walls + outer walls + skins? or outer walls + skins? or just outer walls? I hope someone can explain it to me with consistent terms like walls and skins.

 

Thanks

Every combing setting (other than Off) avoids all inner and outer walls.

All just makes it avoid walls.

Not on Outer Surface means as well as all walls, it'll avoid the top layer of skin (where it's a roof) or the bottom layer (where it's a floor) - if you have the preview set to line type, skin is yellow.

Not in Skin means it will avoid all walls and all skin, not just the visible layer.

Infill Only is exactly what it sounds like.

Thanks Slashee, regarding "Not in Skin means it will avoid all walls and all skin, not just the visible layer."

 

what do you mean "invisible layer"?

The very top or bottom layer of skin, depending on whether you're doing a roof (something visible from above) or floor (something visible from below) is considered the visible layer, because it's the one you're actually going to see on the finished model.

 

The rest of the top/bottom layers for that particular bit are considered fair game for Not on Outer Surface with the idea being that the layer/s above will smooth out any strings so you don't see them.
