Dividing wall thickness and "room vs walls"

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, so hello and many thanks to the developers for making this (apparently) great software.
I'm in the process of having a house built, and plan to use Sweet Home 3D to figure out different room layouts.
I have first drawn the outside walls of my house: OK.
Then I tried creating a room using the dedicated tool, but the result's walls have no thickness, and adding a door does not automatically "open" the wall on which I place it.
So it looks like I did not do it properly, maybe I should have created walls for my room instead?

What is the correct process:
A. create the dividing walls ("Partition" in English, correct?) only, after defining a different thickness from that of the main "outside" walls?
B. create the walls first, then add a room within these walls?
C. create a room first, then add its walls?

Thanks in advance for your support.
