Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

No way to gradually have the infill density change. I know the height modifier exists, but that’s not a gradual change in density, it’s a hard line where the infill will change.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a feature the would create variable infill gradually radially. Like for a tire/wheel where near the center let’s say it’s 80% infill and gradually gets less dense throughout the part and goes to 15% infill. I feel this could also be done in a linear fashion.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using Ntop program to create the file, but no way to get to the printer, my computer with orcaslicer can’t handle a 3 gb file. It can barely do 1-2gb files.

Additional context

I can imagine this feature also being good for items like a door stopper or a suspension arm stopper on a car. I’m also sure there are other ways people would benefit from this feature.
