The layer filter blocks or forwards contour and hatch data for a layer in a slice stack. This is a binary procedure, so each resulting layer (of a processed stack) is either completely empty or contains the same contours and hatches as the input.

| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| minlayer | -1 | Start layer index of the filter. All layers below this index is discarded. A value of -1 disables this parameter. |
| maxlayer | -1 | End layer index of the filter. All layers above this index is discarded. A value of -1 disables this parameter. |
| onlyeachlayer | 1 | Only every n-th layer passes this filter, all others are discarded. |
| layeroffset | 0 | This parameter shifts the start of counting when onlyeachlayer is larger than 1. For example, when onlyeachlayer is 2, a layeroffset of 0 passes only even layers, and layeroffset of 1 passes only odd layers including layer #1. |
| seam | original | Shifts start of the contour line:
