If I understand your question correctly, the "Resize About" setting (in General Wall Defaults) should do what you want by setting it to "Inner Surface".

Beautiful...thank you. 

I understand that you can do inside and outside dimensions manually.  What I'm really after is chief architect automatically showing the inside dimension when I click on the number to edit the wall length.  For example, I draw a 9' wall horizontally then a 9' wall vertically.  CA defaults these as outside dimensions so I would need to set it at 9' 4.5" to get what I want (9').  If I want to change the wall length to 6'...I need to type in 6' 4.5". 

Is there a way to set CA to work exclusively with inside dimensions where my 9' is 9'?  Also, drawing a wall 6' 4 3/8" and adding 4 1/2" for the wall leaves room for error/confusion.

I started on 2020 v8.1 and now on 2020 v11.  This is the software that my employer has been using since day 1.  I don't particularly like it but it's required.

My office was sent a CA x5 demo way back and I've tried it before.  One thing I noticed is that CA works with outside dimensions.  Does the newer version allow users to work with inside dimensions of walls?
