Unable to dimension to some wall cores

[DParkRMAK]

Why am I not able to dimension to some wall cores but I can dimension to others. Tab select does nothing. I can only select core or outside face of the wall.

This is a callout enlarged view.  I can dimension the core with parts turned on but I don't want to use parts.

Is the wall actually a compound-layered wall type with a core?  Are the core edges visible in view?  They wouldn't be if the Detail Level was set to Coarse.  

...one more.  Are all these checkboxes checked?

 

...another one:

Are you using your TAB Key (e.g. TAB-Selecting)?

This?

Ah! I bet I know what you are talking about.  Wall Wraps. Right? No can do in Revit.  You'll need to draw and pull your dimensions from Ref. Planes.

Is it a specific wall type or just random?

also @barthbradley edit you post quickly before someone betting against it

[barthbradley]

Huh, @ToanDN? What did I say that was inaccurate?  I'll be happy to just own it. No need to cover my tracks.

It would be a good guess until OP said if he created parts he could dimension just fine. Wrapping don't translate to parts.

Huh? I'm not following you. Wrapping doesn't translate into Parts.  

@DParkRMAK : Was I right?  Wall Wraps?  

[barthbradley]

@ToanDN : is this OP ever going to respond? I'm on pins and needles here, How about you? I got money riding on this one.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Neverending deadlines.

The issue turned out to be that the common edges were turned off. Once I turned that back on it worked as it should.

[barthbradley]

So you are saying that some Walls in the View were showing Common Edges while others were not?  That's possible? How do you do that? Turn a particular Wall's Common Edges off and on in a View?  

[DParkRMAK]

That is a good point. I don't really know what the issue was. The solution was to turn on common edges.

That was 2 submittals ago I don't remember.

[ennujozlagam]

it could be the setting in your detail level and visual style to turn on the edges? thanks

[DParkRMAK]

The detail level was set to fine.
