Use interior dimensions as measured?

Okay, I am a total newb to this but something I expected to be easy is turning out to be very hard. I am working on remodeling a single room. I am trying to draw an as-is plan. But the entire application (HD Suite 2025) seems to be conspiring to prevent me from working with the interior dimensions as measured. Interior walls seem to snap to the grid *inside* the plasterboard layer. Measurements snap to the same place by default. This makes doing things like positioning a window to the measured distance from an interior wall really unnecessarily difficult. What am I missing?

houses are built to framing.

 

You are measuring to sheetrock on top of framing so you can change defaults to measure from framing or top surface I think it is called.

 

Or just add or subtract 1/2" for each layer of wall sheetrock to you measured dims.

Ie You measure width of room to be 10'-2" inside wall to wall.

Framing would be 10'-3" inside (10'-2" + 1/2" + 1/2")
