Is there an easier way to get max lengths of framing members for material list counts?

Finally digging into this after getting some help from various helpful contributors here, I see the ways to get my wall plates counted in 16 foot lengths, same for rim board (decks still an issue), same for mudsills, I'd like an easier more global way to do the setup.

 

For wall plates, one has to go into each wall type to make the setting.  If you have gone beyond OOB setup for walls, it needs to be done for each and every new wall type you define.  For mudsills, since the pressure treated mud sill is considered an element of the foundation wall and not an element of framing, one does the setting inside the wall, also.

 

For rimboard, the setup is done inside the framing default.

 

I find it all tedious, and would rather have something inside the framing defaults for specifying max length (a misleading term and should be better described) for these framing elements.
