Understand the wall location line and how typed dimensions are measured
Learn how the location line places wall thickness and which face your typed dimensions are measured from.
The wall's location line can be set to Center, Left or Right, and this determines how the wall thickness is placed relative to the drawn line.

The blue dotted line shown while drawing a wall marks the wall's location line.

The dimension you type is measured from the location line: a centre-to-centre dimension places the line at the wall centre, while an internal-to-internal dimension places it on the inside face of the wall.

For interior work, keep the wall location line on the inside face of the wall so dimensions are taken from inside to inside.
If the line sits on the outside face, dimensions are taken outside to outside.

When a wall is drawn by typing a centre-to-centre length, the inside face measurement is shorter and the outside face longer by half the wall thickness on each side — for example a 3000 centre-to-centre wall of 150 thickness measures 2925 on the inside face and 3075 on the outside face.
