I have a room whith the following dimensions 12'x11' the exterior wall thickness is 5", ater I change the exterior wall to a with 7" thick wall my interior dimensions become smaller, see screen shots. How can I make the walls to streched to the outside instead of the inside?

I think it depends on how the wall is drawn.  If you draw it by exterior face it uses that as the base, if you do it by interior it uses that as the base.  I think give it a try and see if that helps but if you pick the wall you should be able to change the dimension by typing it in.

Thanks Wheelergc, oh man I have to this one by one because I have more rooms in the project. bommer.

I actually drew a square 10'x10' with loc line finish face exterior and still shrunk the room 9'8"x9'8". Thanks for the suggestions. Let me know if you can figure this out.

You can change the location line of the wall type in the element properties to be interior and readjust their positions.  You don't have to redraw the walls.
