Thanks David,
I was trying to figure out why my addition's walls were not framing but the existing house walls were. Was revising an x2 plan and the problem stems from my not using any drywall layers on my new construction(addition) walls. Eg I typically only used a single layer wall for int framing and a 2-layer wall for exterior walls (stud & sheathing). However, on the As-Is existing portion of the house, I used 3-layers for int walls (gyp,stud,gyp) and similar for the exterior walls siding,sheathing,framing, gyp. For the new walls I would call the single stud layer-gypsum so that the interior views would look like drywall instead of wood. In the past I would do this because of dimensioning issues such as having dims locate vinyl siding etc. if I wasn't paying close attention when doing manual dimensioning.
All grexing aside, thanks for the simple fix that I overlooked.-BradLast edited by Bradley Boltz; 07-28-2013 at 10:43 AM. Reason: grammer
