Apparently, Revit will not all me to dimension the FOS of the ends of walls if I enable wrapping.  It  seems as though it always goes to the outer end of the wall, which is to say, the finished face, however it is I may organize the wrap.

Is there a way to get it to dimension to the face of the core? 

Currently I just draw a little line at the FOS (the line won't even snap to the core, BTW) and dim to that, but of course that isn't very useful if the wall needs to be moved around.

as i know, wall end wrapping(and insert wrapping) option is a kind of tricks in revit programing,

it doesn't infuluence any other datum except plan views, it means revit can't recognize core face at the end of the wrapped walls.

the way you use is not bad, or you have to make two seperated single walls-core & finish

It is a very frustrating flaw in revit, i have had the same issue over and over and we find ourselves in 2016 with no answers.
