Infill printing in center of part

Hi all,
I am using Simplify3D v5.02. I am trying to print a Speaker Port tube. That I sliced in half. So I could print it in 2 pieces. I.am using a .6mm nozzle with a .4mm layer height. I want no infill in the center but I do want infill in between the walls. How do I set this up. right now infill is being printed in the main round tube part and in the walls. This effect is showing in the Simplify3d preview. I have not printed the part. yet. I tried turning Top and Bottom layers to 0 but no luck. The infill still prints just the top and bottom solid layers don't print as expected. If I turn infill % to 0 then no Infill will print at all and that is not what I want. I am printing the part Vertically. This also happened to me using the older version 4 of Simplify3D.

Thank You
Johnm

Re: Infill printing in center of part

Update: I am going to try printing a Corkscrew single wall print at 1.0mm Extrusion Width. I found a post about using the Extrusion Width with on the net. I have only attempted 1 corkscrew print years ago and that produced spaghetti. Maybe I just tried to print to fast before.
