Extend options 'Reverse on odd' to apply to all walls, not just overhangs #6581

Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'm printing a lot in Nylon, ASA and ABS. All of these materials are very prone to warping. The explanation that is given in the tooltips under Overhangs --> Reverse on Odd / Reverse only internal perimeters describes the usefulness for reverse perimeters for better overhangs, but ALSO for reducing internal stresses and thus reducing warping. (ps; the tooltip under 'only internal' is more descriptive than 'reverse on odd', while the 'only internal' can only be enabled after you first select the 'reverse on odd'.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if the option to reverse the wall direction on odd layers could be enabled for normal printing as well. The option could then be under Walls and surfaces:

or where it currently is under Overhangs:

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried a lot to counter warping; it just seems a hit and miss and if the theory is correct, it might probably help against warping

@ImagineerNL What you are asking for is already there, you just need to set the Reverse threshold to 0. For reference see the 'tooltip' of Reverse threshold.

Please close this issue as what you are requesting is already present. 😊
