reconcile wall length with inside room dimensions

Post by bbxrider »

I'm a fairly newbie sweet home user. not sure how to reconcile inside wall dimensions when I have created my home plan wall by wall, please see below, the inside wall dimension is 14' 3" the length I have given to the wall but when I measure out the same distance, the ruler is longer than the walls inside dimension.

it would seem I have to give the wall property a greater length than the actual inside dimension. the walls width is 4.5" for a 2x4 with sheet rock on either side. however the exterior walls will be 5.25" for 2x4 with 3/4" sheathing and 1" of stucco

is there some way to tell sweet home a wall length is the finished inside dimension?

the preview is not showing the google pic link using the image tags, so I am providing the raw link here so it can be seen just in case

You should view this video which explains how to draw rooms from their inner dimensions.
Hope this will help...
