    "Sunken" garage makes it multi-level?

    I'm trying to follow the X4 tutorial from the ground up. However, I'm trying to use our own home as the basis. (Who knows -- we may want to add a room later and this may serve as a good visual help.)

    The home is a simple rectangle Ranch, single floor frame home. It's on a foundation wall that provides an 18" crawl space. On one end, however, the attached garage is at ground level (18" lower than house proper) on a monolithic slab. The garage shares the same plane of ceiling rafters as the rest of the house. That end of the house as well as its opposite are gable ends.

    And therein lies my newbie confusion: Should I start with the garage as the first floor with 18" walls (2 of them interior, the other 2 are exterior, shared with the house proper), then proceed upwards? If so, how can I specify the Straight Foundation Wall as its support?
