Hello,
I am using KiCad 5.1 on Windows. I’d like to edit the PCB stackup to make the board thinner (0.031") thick. I am familiar with defining PCB stack up layers in other tools, I just need to know where the menu is, or how this is done with KiCad.
For example, how do I edit the copper weight, 1oz, 0.5oz, etc?
How do I edit the thickness of the PCB core, or define its material?
How do I edit the different prepreg thicknesses?
It looks like some of what I’m looking for is available in Pcbnew:
File-> Board Setup -> Layers
Allows me to edit copper thickness, define the number of layers, and which ones are power / signal / mixed, though what those settings do is not clear to me yet.
Is there a more comprehensive menu for the layer stack-up definition?

There does not really need to be. There is no way to communicate this information to the board manufacturer using the gerber files exported by kicad. (I am not sure if gerber x2 would provide a way to use such information. If it does then your request might indeed be useful at this point in time.)
KiCad itself does not use this information for anything else then the 3d viewer and 3d export. (It does not even use the power/signal/mixed stuff as it does not come with an internal autorouter. This info is however used in the spectre export intended for using freerouter)
