    Turn off everything except the foundation. Make sure the foundation is on level "0".

    Or, go down to the foundation level and use the perspective floor camera

    You can turn off walls normal in the camera view layerset, hopefully your foundation walls are on the walls foundation layer.

    That's the problem, the lower level and foundation are one plan. The top half of a pony wall can not be turned off independent of the lower half.
    Put your lower level on level 1 and then you will have an independent foundation.
    It is more difficult to show the foundation when it goes thru two floors.

    Thank you William,

    Typically I develop my Main Floor Plan first and create my foundation from the Main Floor Plan. So the main floor gets created at Level 1. When I create the foundation from my main floor plan Chief creates the foundation at Level O. How do I create my walkout framed walls at level 1? Thank you for all your help.

    Bob,
    For a daylight basement I start with all of my walls as 8" conc. Then from plan view use the "Wall break tool" to cut the conc. where you want "Pony walls" or to change a wall section to another wall type.
    In my image above I showed a one story with daylight basement and a foundation.
