Openstudio/sketchup - which direction does openstudio add wall thickness to sketchup geometry?

I am drawing a building from a blueprint in Sketchup, and then using openstudio to model the increased insulation etc to make the building more efficiecnt. but should I be drawing the walls from the outer side, the inner side, or the midplane? How is the wall thickkness added?
