change wall snap point location

Hi everyone,
I trying to learn this software on my own by using the internet and forum but Im cannot find a solution to this problem.

When you are tracing walls (from Autocad drawing), lets say plasterboard on each side of a timber stud wall, how do you change the snap point from the outside of the plaster board to outside of the timber stud?

everytime i trace a wall, i have to use the offset button afterward to make up the lighweight cladding/plasterwall thickness, Im pretty sure theres a faster way for this.

Sorry if you do not understand what im talking about.

If I understand correctly, either Pre-Set the line offset if using a regular wall.
Also read in the manual about matching properties using the eyedropper and syringe.
