Slic3r not seeing internal structures

I am trying to print an RC airplane (www.thingiverse.com/thing:3040294).
The parts contain very intricate reinforcing ribs and the walls are thin. I find the Slic3r 1.41.0 totally ignores the internal structure and only slices the outer skin. Is there a setting that would enable it to ‘see’ the inside structures, or is this a basic shortcoming of Slic3r?

Hi Anthony,

I couldn't get Slic3r to play nicely. maybe someone else can.

Kiss and Simplify3D fared better...

I don't have Cura, but that's supposed to
work too

there are Cura Profiles on the forum...

you may be able to get that to work.

regards Joan

Fortunately, I have had great success using his Gcode directly on my Mk3.
