Let users choose the infill pattern for the underside of bridges (overhangs over support or air). The list matches top/bottom surface infill, with Default first. Default uses monotonic when the top surface is monotonic, otherwise rectilinear, preserving existing bridge infill. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
The option lives under Strength → Top/bottom shells, is Advanced-mode, and is also available as a per-object/per-part override.
Why
Bridge infill is currently hardcoded to rectilinear (or monotonic only when the top surface pattern is monotonic). That works for rectangular overhangs, but round or fully supported bottoms (for example PLA supporting PETG with zero Z gap) benefit from concentric or other solid patterns.
Behavior
Defaultis setting behaviour, not a fill algorithm. It uses a dedicatedBridgeBottomSurfacePatternenum so it is not on the sharedInfillPatternmap.bottom_surface_pattern(is_bridgeis only true forlayer.id() > 0).stBottomBridgesurfaces usebridge_bottom_surface_pattern.stInternalBridge) are unchanged.posInfill), same as other surface patterns.bottom_surface_patterntooltip still notes that it is not bridge infill.L(); language catalogs are left to the existing translation CI.Test plan
default).Screenshots
Layer before the overhang, white layers are the support/raft interface (interface pattern set to concentric).
Layer showing the bottom of the overhang, top object has bridge bottom surface pattern left as "Default", bottom object has it set to "Concentric"
