When I add a new exterior wall "Exterior - Wood Siding on Wood Stud" to a project (even with fine detail selected) all I see for the object is two lines representing the finished exterior and interior with a solid hatch filling the rest.  I don't mind how this looks but when I go to dimension the walls, even though I have my dimensions set to dimension to "faces of core" they will only dimension to the finished exterior/interior or center.  Tabbing does not solve anything.  Is there any way to have the dimensions work proplerly and dimension to the core of the wall?

Change your view detail setting to medium or fine.

Is you wall made up of only one material in the structure?  Or do you actually have different layers set up in the wall properties?

If you are adding it to the "New Phase" is it set to be on the new phase and not existing

Show a shot of your floor plan and your properties floor plan, what scale are you at, can you see the assembly if you turn on thin lines?  I'm still assuming it is a phasing problem.

Thin lines are tuned on.  I assumne it is a phassing problem as well but I cant figure out how to fix the issue.

Are the blue walls new or existing?  If they are existing you need to go to the Visablility Graphics and set up how you want the existing walls show.  If they are suppose to be new you need to click on them and in your properties change them from existing to new

The blue walls are new and they are set to be constructed in the "new" phase.  Regardless of whether I have the blue pattern on or off I still won't see any of the layer details you see when the wall is placed in the "existing" phase.  Keep in mind I am using the exact same wall in both scenarios.
