Middle layers of a solid body sliced in irregular shapes

Hi so I want to print this model with 100% infill as a bag tag (keyring).
The first 4 layers are a simple and in my opinion correct hence efficient rectangular pattern.

Then layers 5,6 and 7, which are still 100% solid infill are sliced in a time consuming way and similar to the final top layers...

...BUT after that layer 8 again is a (fast printing) rectangular pattern.

After that the next and all the above layers are correctly sliced so that all visible top layers are "smooth" and the top layer pattern correct.

In Fusion 360 I exported the model as one body as well as two bodies (extruding the lower 100% infill to the bottom, and the top layers with a pattern to the top) but the slicing is always handled this way.

I would be really happy if someone could link another topic where this was already adressed. I unfortunately couldn't come up with the correct naming for this "error". Thanks guys!

So my question is: Can I make layers 5,6 and 7 print in the standard rectangular pattern as well? Or how do I need to change my model? My workflow? My setting? Thank you.
