No skirt, but I get a weird square

mbay

Hi, i can't seem to get the CuraEngine to do a skirt with my brim. Also i keep getting some weird square breakout on the brim that does show up. This square does not seem to be related to the skirt settings, it is a brim related anomaly. I have the brim and skirt settings set above zero and have tried a 1st layer thicknesses to be equal to, as well as greater than, the standard layer and that doesn't make a skirt appear.
Here are my settings and an image of the odd square offshoot that the brim keeps adding. I've tried a number of offset distances, minimum skirt lengths, and the other available settings to no avail so far.
Does anyone have some thoughts on either issue?

The square comes from selecting the wipe tower. There it would have been.

Skirt only appears if you have no brim/raft selected.

I cannot set brim to zero. I only want a skirt

No need to set brim zero. On right side you just select to have no brim or raft and you get your skirt.

Ok, thanks. I was expecting similar behavior across engines, but I'm seeing that there are nuances to the same setting types that are different. I also was not expecting a wipe tower in the brim since I wasn't using one in the print.

You are using wipe tower - or more precise the option is selected but you don't get one as there is no need.
