Structural Framing-Dimension Wood

Presently I am involved with a basement design and understand the placement of exterior and interior doors. What I am trying to do is show just the wood stud walls with no sheet rock or exterior siding attached and the spacing between each stud. Is there a way to use the Dimension Wood found in Structural Framing to create the walls without having to invest in a third party program? Where can I can that helps explain the properties so I can have a vertical stud rather than a horizontal one.

You can do it quite easily with Curtain Walls, using Mullions for Dimension Lumber and Empty System Panels.   

 

And/or use Beams and Columns.

Sure. Frame the Opening, change the Empty System Panel in the opening to Basic Wall Type and host your Door/Window to the Basic Wall Type Panel.
