If I understand your question correctly, this can be done by editing the section properties of your wall, under the structure edit command.

Are you referring to panelized "tilt-up" wall systems that attach to a steel skelton as opposed to stick built or conventional masonry construction? Panelized systems might be better modeled with a family that you place like other components.
Or you could just draw a basic wall and use a combination of surface pattens and hosted reveals to describe the joints and features of the system.

I think some people use the curtain wall tool for this. Make a panel that is your concrete wall module and a mullion that represents your joints...

The type of wall i`m thinking of is typical interior office walls. You know the ones put up and pull down before you have time to get used to there being a wall.

might be best done as a generic model... with size parameters

I think you would be best served by making a wall type that, by default, wrapped at both ends. Just draw them in like normal walls and don't join geometry to them. Also, edit the wall joins at either end to make them not clean up and not attach to other walls.
