I sometimes see what I want to call false layers when using infill with ZERO top/bottom cap layers.
My intent here is to have my model be mostly hollow but supported by the hex matrix.
I want the top/bottom layers to be open to allow maximum drainage.
What I sometimes see is the first/last layers showing up usually as massively unsupported areas.
I think this might be due to some rounding errors where layers don't exactly match model Z distances.
The result is then I end up with closed or semi-closed models with a thin skin that traps resin and they
really don't cure well.
Also while playing around I noted that you can specify negative numbers in the end-cap boxes, not sure
what that might mean....it generates some odd things. Maybe it should be trapped out or if it is some feature
an explanation of what it is trying to do would be nice.

Hi Darren,
Please, try the latest beta. Will push new version online tomorrow. Thank you.

just tested with a new model, but problem remains....last layer was filled.
version: 2505
edit:
The model I am using has 60 .1mm layers....by offsetting the model by .05 (1/2 layer) I was able to get the last layer to
not show as filled in. The model of course was a bit thinned (by .1mm) as it printed as 59 (.1mm) layers.
I continue to think this is a rounding or mismatch issue with how the layers and infill are created....

Could you share stl and layer thickness that you are using?

beta 2511 seems to have fixed the problem....but I have only tested with one of my problem models.
