"IMPORTANT: min. 6 Wall loops"

Hi,
The S3D infill parameters are unfamiliar to me. The designer of the model I'm trying to print specifies "IMPORTANT: " min. 6 Wall loops " if the spring has infill pattern, it will not work".
But I can't translate that in terms of S3D parameter.
Could you help me ?
Thanks

I can partially answer to my own question. After asking the designer it appears that I have to find the right parameter to specify the "wall loops" :D Even if I'm not confident at all, setting the advanced parameter "Internal Thin wall type" to the value "allow single extrusion" can perhaps solve my problem.

When someone says "wall loops", I would have assumed they were talking about the number of perimeter outlines. That determines how many rings are created around the outside of the part. If you use a high enough number of perimeter outlines, you frequently won't get any infill at all for small parts, which is what I think the customer was requesting.
