Using Revit Architecture 2008.  I have created the walls of my model using a generic 5 1/2" wall.  Now I want to go in and add sheathing, stone. stucco, and siding.  I want my 5 1/2" framing to stay where it is but when I change the wall style the face of the finish is where the outside of the framing was.  How can I add this finish without changing the placement of the framing?

First - You have to set all of your walls to have their location line set to either inside face, outside face or center of wall.  DO NOT USE CORE.

No ... go ahead and redefine your wall and you're done..... As long as your totl wall thickness remains at 5 1/2"

just wanted to add a little bit, don't use wall centerline, if you "grow" your wall more on one side than the other, it will not stay located in the same spot.  Just select all walls, then tell them they are now located via the external face of core.  Now when you add or remove layers to your face, the location of the stud stays in the same spot.
