How to manage wall offsets less than 1 foot or so...

Situations like the one below are a problem in Chief.

 

Sometimes they will disconnect randomly or move and resnap arbitrarily.

 

Dimensions will un-attach randomly no matter how many times you reconnect them etc...

 

I usually "solve" this by creating a thinner version of the wall which seems to work most of the time, but Chief still behaves weirdly around small offsets.

 

What do you guys do?

I've struggled with this too.  One thing I've done is first draw the wall with a larger offset -- say 36" -- then move the wall into place.  I've found this can keep the short segment from deleting.

this is what I do, by putting a dimension line after drawing the wall further away. then click the wall and the dimension line, and type in the dimension i want
