Can Layer Heights be set SPECIFICALLY for layers or groups without using the variable options?

I am trying to optimize my prints, and I print a lot of the same part over and over with only small changes.

Using variable layer heights it is hard to get exactly what I want, and has to be re-tweaked every time I load a new part.

Is there a way to just set 'layer 1-20 .2, and layer 21-25 .1'

I have messed around with the modifier boxes, but it doesn't seem to allow me to assign anything more than perimeters, infill, etc...

Hopefully I am just missing something.

Thanks for any help.

I did find this previous post/answer that helps with a screenshot.

So while inside variable layer height, you can set a modifier to set a specific height for a group of layers.

This is very helpful, but haven't quite figured out if you can set this multiple times...

Thought I would share what I have found in an older thread.

Just wanted to share that I did figure this out, and it is possible, but I am not positive in what version this became available.

I am currently using the PrusaSlicer 2.3.0-Alpha3 build, and they have added a '+' next to the modifier height range to add more than one grouping.

This is great, but might not be so easy to find for those looking (like I was).

The multiple layer height modifiers have been available since at least the 2.2 versions.

In fact its in the knowledge base manual https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/modifiers_1767#height-range-modifier
