Offsetting Walls

I have only used CAD before and have recently tried the architectural version.  I am working on a basement design and need to create different walls.  In CAD I know you can offset a wall to a certain dimension very easily.  However, I do not see this option with this program.  What do I use to "offset" walls and know exactly where I am placing them?

If you are talking about offset walls in the basement... create your own interior wall type that fits your needs and mark it as furred in the properties > structure > double walls > furred.

 

So to offset by 2": create a wall type "furred basement" from like interior, remove exterior drywall, add air layer 2" on exterior
