It is in the Slic3r Configuration, "Printer Settings" tab; under "Extruder 1" option...in the Retraction area...this will drop the Z axis by whatever you specify for any non-printing / retraction moves. It is called "Lift" as it origins are for milling machines where the spindle is the Z axis...

EDIT: Just saw your edit...I tried my SD2 at .5 for .3 Layer Thickness and it worked pretty well...try some different values and see what works for you.

if you mean in printer settings. isnt that permanent/fixed setting? it dont say its associated with the avoid perimeters box in printing tab. wait just saw when hovering over it. when retraction is triggered. so whats a good hieght? .1-.3mm

Your right, Z-lift is the setting that actually lifts the Z axis.

the
avoid crossing perimeters setting does NOT lift Z (extruder) as many here have posted. all it does is use a defferent path when moving to avoid last layer laid. no Z height changes ever. so it still hits some detail parts knocking them loose.

small parts tend to curl while cooling putting them up into path of extruder.
