Check wall structure tab make sure wall top and bottom heights are set to defaults

Doesn't seem to make any difference as my default exterior walls are stucco-4 and my default interior walls are interior-4 with drywall on BOTH sides.  Not quite sure I'm following your logic here. 

 

However, CA doesn't seem to have a default setting for attic wall type.  If I select attic wall option with either my default exterior wall or my default interior wall, it does not change the wall type, which I guess is what it's supposed to do.

 

I really think you need to just open my plan and select a 3D view, preferably perspective or orthographic FULL views (not FLOOR views) because you want see the attic walls generated) and you will see what I am talking about.

 

 

i give up the defaults seem correct to me 

i think maybe you have used the spray can

Post your file you should get some help more focused that way

see if that is getting closer to what you want

yes

Chief has some good training videos on this topic also you can put things on different layers and on those layers you can be turned off  for material calc

Did anyone else notice the Wall Type Definition dbx in the video?

I did after you pointed it out thanks, also there 2 coming webinars about framing one is hinting at roof purlins and the other is hinting at horizontal wall framing like multiple rows of noggins as that dialog shows 

I am pretty sure i have seen chief reply on forum with this question and they said upgrades are done manualy so my guess would be after weekend
