Stem Wall altered height automatically??

[ivancyr]

This is likely a piece of cake question...I'm not much into the construction business as much as making models pretty....so here's a question to those expert builders out there.

See the attached snips plus the exterior picture. The stem wall is supposed to be a constant absolute height all around the structure. You can see the two steps in the exported picture. This varies according to the floor structure depth. Changing the relative stem wall height simply moves the base up and down. I want the base to stay put, and the top to match all the way around.

You can make the height constant by the same floor heights (L)....but....but they're not the same.....increasing floor heights force the top of the Stem Wall to a lower level to accommodate.

What's the trick?? Thanks for any help.

This developer wants the stem wall to actually be an ICF wall....and then the wall above it to be an Exterior ICF definition. My understanding is you can place the joist hangers at a constant level....but how does one get Chief to not recognize the floor structure depth to subtract from the absolute top height of the "Stem Wall" (which is really an ICF wall).

I came back and re-read what I initially wrote...no wonder no-one responded...I couldn't understand it myself!

I re-worded it to try to make myself more clear (which can be quite the challenge admittedly)....but any takers??

you will probably need to post the plan

Hi Ivancy r I had the same issue , check each room floor setting ( this can be done automaticaly before you start drawing under the edit floors command ) However i did the same mistake !!
What i did was check each room dialouge independtanly & made them all the same . You can also bring up a overall veiw using diffrent cameras , the floor / wall will highlight & make that wall into a polyline sometimes you have to keep clicking on the wall till you get the red arrows. You can adjust the polyline with those arrows I AM USING X 2
