Ability to assign more than 1 wall layer to be structural

Ability to assign more than 1 wall layer to be structural

Since walls no longer need to have a core layer I got me thinking what if Autodesk pushed the idea farther and allowed us to have multiple structural layers in a wall.  Right now you can only pick a single layer to be a structural element.  My company use a demising wall between apartment units quite often using UL U341 which from Side 1 to side 2 is constructed in the following way

Apartment #1 Side

5/8 Gyp

2x4 Wood Stud 

1/2" Sheathing (Ply or OSB)

1" air space

1/2" Sheathing (Ply or OSB)

2x4 Wood Stud

5/8 Gyp
Apartment #2 Side

Now both stud layers in reality are structural.  If we make this a single wall we can only assign the structural element to be one stud layer or the other but no both.  I am not on the structural side of my company but feel this might assign with running structural analysis,
