You've imported a thick wall model? Or you are creating a new OpenStudio model from drawings that you have? If the former, you need to zone to the outer wall so that shading devices are attached and positioned properly. If the latter, than you can do whatever you want. If you use inner wall, then your areas and volumes will be more accurate, but your exterior surface areas and (self) shading will be less accurate. And conversely.
