Printing with support question

I have a question:
I try to print this simple design with interface support. The support interface layer (red) is always a "concentric line" pattern. Can this be changed? I would like to use rectilinear, I'm suing Slic3r 1.4.1 beta+

Re: Printing with support question

no, the soluble interfaces are currently always concentric.

Thanks bubnikv for your reply.

Please allow me to ask: why always concentric ? I think it would be a advantage to chose a different pattern, w.g. rectilinear.

Best regards
Stephan

Re: Printing with support question

because the usual pattern imprints itself into the sides of the supported objects, which covers them with dotted pattern where the support interface pattern reverses. The concentric pattern is a compromise, it follows the sides of the objects nicely.
