Staggered 2x4 Stud Walls on common 2x10 bottom/top plates

[RogerTodd]

Using Home Designer Pro 2024.

I want to create a wall type whose main layer consists of 2x10 bottom and top plates and 2x4 studs staggered 24" OC along opposite sides of the plates (leaving a 2.25" space between stud rows that is void of studs). 

If I create the 2x10 plates, then HDPro uses 2x10 studs (not what I want).

If I create a 2x4 layer, a 2.25" air gap, and a 2x4 layer, I get staggered studs, but on separate, unconnected, uncoordinated 2x4 plates (not what I want).

I think this is a not-uncommon wall configuration for achieving high R values, but it seems HDPro can't handle it.

I prefer not to get into manipulating individual studs.

Any way to get HDPro to create 2x10 plates with staggered 2x4 studs on opposite sides of the plates?

Thanks.

You can't do it automatically, but after framing you can resize and delete the plates in a framing camera view. The only problem is you can't turn auto wall framing back on. It wouldn't be to bad if your just doing a few walls dividing a Townhouse or Apartment.
