A non-round pipe was modeled by first importing the AutoCAD file. The model was analyzed and results obtained. Plan check want to see thickness to verify the model matches the drawing provided.

You can use the measure tool to check the distance between outer and inner edges

Also if the thickness is not uniform then you can make a sketch normal to the cross section and then create sketch lines at various places around the wall. Then you can measure the length of each line.
