Where is the "wall thickness" setting in CuraEngine?

in CuraEngine
I'm trying to configurate my printer. And I'm trying to get the flow rate correctly before going further to calibrate the X/Y/Z stepper motors.

I'm using a 0.4mm nozzle and I would like to set my wall thickness and make a single wall testprint to measure and adjust the flowrate. But I can't find the wall thickness settings in the CuraEngine settings. Or am I overlooking something?

I'm using the latest 2.2.3 version of Repetier Host.

    It is in Structures->Infill the first parameter "Shell Thickness". Based on extruder nozzle width it computes how many lines to make out of this.

    Oh thanks for the reply!
    I overlooked this because I thought this section was all about the infill parameters. So the infill lines.

    But when put it to 0.8 I see it actually calculates 2 outer shell lines :)

    So when I put the shell thickness here to 0.4 then I may asume that it prints a single shell at the nozzle diameter of 0.4mm?

    So when I put in 0.48 it should print a single wall at 120% of the nozzle diameter?

    Yes, your observation is correct. It calculates how many lines are necessary for shell width. 0.8 with 0.4mm nozzle is too much so it goes up to 2 outlines to achieve this. If you need to force it to be one set nozzle width to 0.8mm.
