Gypsum Board End Wrap

I am using the Wall End tool and I am looking for the Gypsum board to wrap around the end wall.

I set the outside of the walls with a 97 pen and the actual framing is set to a 94 pen. When I apply the Wrapped End setting under the Wall End tool, the outside line is a 97 pen, which is what I want, but the inside line of the gypsum board, which is also the edge of the framing, is also a 97 pen at that wrapped end. I really would like this to be a 94 pen, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this.

The problem is shown in the attached.

I think you need to select the Wall on the Floor Plan, right-click and activate the Edit Selected Composite command.
In the Composite Settings Dialog you may need to edit the Pen used for the end of the middle skin (not the sides) to Pen 94. I suspect it is now set to Pen 97.
