One of the reasons it's so convenient to use the wall styles tool is that you can enter the thickness of the wall elements. The way the wall tool dialog box works, by contrast, is that you have to calculate the distance of the cavity line from the center of the wall. If you have 5/8" gyp bd on the inside, and 1/2" ply plus 3/4" siding on the outside, try figuring out where the cavity lines are relative the center of the wall. Not that it can't be done, but it would be much easier if the cavity lines were placed relative to the outside of the wall instead of relative to the center.
