Pole Building walls

I have drawn a friends pole building with the existing outside walls with 6x6 studs at 96" and horizontal girts. Now he is going to add living space in parts of it and is going to drywall 3 of the existing outside walls. He plans to add 2x6 studs in between the 6x6's at 16" OC. How do I create this wall? In the wall definitions adding 2x6's just adds an other layer and increases the width of the wall.

 

Thanks in advance.

A couple of questions for you.  First, are you going to provide a wall framing detail showing the studs OC dims?  And are you going to run a report for materials and cut list?  Are these post a true 6x6 or are the 5-1/2 x 5-1/2?  I asked this because I did have a home where the post were a true 8x8s.  That changed my approach some.  The few I have done the builders could have cared less where I showed the studs, so I located my post per the spacing requirements, then I drew a wall, a normal wall right on top of it, with the post being centered with the framing.  I am assuming the girts are on the outside of the post of your build which makes it a little different than what I had to do.   With the post of mine being true 8x8s, I had to put girts inside the post to post to make up for the difference with the 7-1/4" wd studs.  Builders Idea... and it seemed to work since their living in it now.

 

On the second picture, you'll see I just placed my wall in-line with the post.  I did place some "end view" of stud cad blocks in my floor plan, for understanding how I wanted this to frame without doing a framing plan.  Also, you have to keep in mind the requirement for the kings and jacks framing at the windows and doors, so that was another reason I placed those stud end views.  

 

Hope this helps...
