Dimensioning Walls from End to End in Revit

[ancRA2012]

I need this wall dimension to be 2'4" from one end to the next - from the LEFT highlighted side all the way to the right.

However, the left side keeps snapping to the midpoint of the wall it is intersecting (see photo attached) and I cannot seem to change this - even when I pick and drag the blue dot to the end. This seems to be the consistent norm and I cannot seem to change it for any walls I want to dimension from end to end- which is all of them and it is frustrating. How do I change these settings and set them to hold for the future? Please help. Thanks!

@ancRA2012: Did you know you can set the join status default to "Disallow"? Look on the option bar when you start drawing. See "Join Status".

when you drag the blue dot, snap it to the other wall and not to the edge of same wall.

check attached photo, snap it to the edge pointed to with cyan not red.

but can't you set it somewhere so that it ALWAYS dimensions from end of wall to end of wall?  it seems crazy to constantly have to drag the snaps...
