Auto Dimensions

[westvale]

Hello! I'm an interior designer and I'm creating an as-built plan for a renovation.  I'd like my auto dimensions to locate interior walls only, not exterior.  I've searched through the auto dimension settings and can't figure out how to change it to only locate interior wall surfaces.  Can anyone tell me what setting to change?

I believe you might be using the auto exterior dimension tool as opposed to the auto interior dimensions tool. 
For setting the auto interior dimensions tool, go to your active dimension defaults and change auto room settings to surfaces

I don't seem to be able to switch from auto exterior dimensions to auto interior dimensions... what am I missing?

Are you using X15?  If so, just click in the room you want and you will see "auto room dimensions" on the edit toolbar or menu.

 

If you want more control over what the dimensions locate, here are some tech articles:

take a look at what DB said or you can customize your toolbar and add the auto interior dimension tool
