Can you select different infill for different areas in PrusaSlicer
I know there are options available in PrusaSlicer for selecting different infill patterns on the top and bottom layers of a model but is it possible to specify different densities/patterns for specific areas of a model?
I'm printing a model which will be screwed into a wall to support shelves. The screw hole areas need to withstand the pressure of a screw and ideally I'd like them to be solid but to print the whole model with solid infill would be (a) unnecessary for the level of support the model has to provide (b) take ages and (c) increase cost. Of course I could use metal brackets but that would look ugly so I'm trying to print something more aesthetically pleasing.
Apologies if this has been asked / answered before

You can do this with a modifier. Select your part, then right-click to select 'Add Modifier'. Pick a suitable shape (a cylinder sounds right in your example), adjust it's size and position, and then configure the print settings within that modifier. Infill is a default option, but you can 'Add settings' that aren't offered by default.

Thankyou @chris-hill this is just what I was looking for - I hadn't noticed the options when you selected a modifier (I'd only ever used the support enhancers)
