different values for external vs internal perimeters

I could really use a setting for differentiating the number of lines for internal vs. external walls. I mean in addition to the layer tab, "outline/perimeter shells" setting, an additional setting for "interior shells." (In other words, the holes or cavities of a part.) For example, the part needs only thin external walls, but thick internal walls. I haven't seen this requested elsewhere, at least in these terms. Thanks!

Thank you for your great feature suggestion. I've documented this for our developers to review.

Just checking, as I could still use this. As a super-simple example, I'd like 3 perimeters for the central hole, but only 1 perimeter for the external shell. Thanks for any input!

I have often done this in the model directly. to beef up the walls where I might tap the holes for threads.
creates a separate cylindrical feature in widths of the nozzle.
this is great to control exactly where you want to add multiple walls.
kind of like this

Just showing you this as this allow you much more control and not apply it blindly to all internal features.
