Brim type similar to skirt

Hello, is it possible to add a brim to look like a skirt? Here's the picture of what I mean. I added the skirt, but will it be good enough to prevent corner warping as brim?

 

If I enable brim for outer walls only, I get brim also on the inside, which I don't want.

Skirt and brim have different functions - whilst brim is to help adhesion a skirt is intended to help protect the layers printed so far from drafts and so reduce warping stresses.  You can use both if you wish.  Corner warping is sometimes preventable with 'Mickey Mouse ears' - helper-discs in the Prusa Gallery.

Can you show us an example?  The picture you posted doesn't show any internal brim..?

Cheerio,

Cheerio,

In the first picture I used skirt, in the second one I used brim for only external walls.
