The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

I just upgraded from x-2. And I live in a very hilly part of the country where 1/2 my designs have frost walls...so I had to go back to X-2 till this is solved. However, I have several plans I started in X-6 I can't finish

Did you try to break it in a cross section camera view?
Try open wall dbx, go to structure tab, top left of window (platform intersection) if the words top and bottom wall height are not checked. check them. rebuild floor and ceiling (f12) and it should fix.
If not delete the walls and replace them with new ones.

I found a fix...I partitioned off section of basement at back of house ..lowered the slab to -144" . This enabled me to drag walls down to slab height and step foundation..It certainly isn't ideal because how the basement is 2 levels. Also..in X-2 all I had to do was drag wall down pass slab with no problems.

All I did in X-2 was break wall and drag...I can do it in X-6 but I can't drag it below slab...that's why I partitioned section off with invis. wall..lower slab and dragged wall down

I just had a similar problem (x5) when I changed a lowered (for frost at a garage walkout) foundation/bsmt garage wall to a pony wall. It fixed itself when I checked the box "Default Wall Bottom Hgt" which automatically gets unchecked when you manually lower a wall bottom and needs to be "re-checked".-BB

Been trying that...bottom of footing just goes back to where it started...I want to be 48" below that...The work-around I found is to lower slab 48"..do the frost wall and reset slab to -102.. The CA techies are working on it ..

I remember a project in X5 where I was having this and "if" my memory is correct it was something to do with using the vertical footing that seemed to cause the problem. I had jagged walls all over the place and vertical footings showing on the inside of wall............a real PITA.
