The names of the walls you list describe their components.  The quickest way to study the walls is to insert each type separately into a drawing.    Click on one wall to bring up the contextual ribbon for wall.   Click the arrow next to Edit Style and select Wall Styles to bring up the Style Manager.  Now you can see all the wall styles in your drawing.   Select a wall and look at the Components tab.  The Standard wall style has only one component, and its width is variable.  The Stud 4 has a single component, and a fixed width of 4".     On the Materials tab, note that each component can have its own material applied.  If you can't find the wall you need,  or just want to experiment with creating a new wall style, find the one closest to what you need, right-click and select Copy and Assign.  The copy and assign leaves the existing wall intact in your drawing, and your new wall will have all the display representations, materials, etc. of the one you copied.
