Selectively drop or pass on layers in intervals
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. |
| only every nth layer | 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. |
| Randomized seam | yes | Shifts start of the contour line:
|
| Layer bundle | 1 | Determines how many layers should be forwarded after an interval of left-out ones. For example, every-nth = 3 and bundle = 2 forwards layers 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, and so on. (The interval is restarted at the last one in the bundle, not the first one.) |
