Thx Rookie65, I'll try that out.

HD Pro 2024. I have the option for Pony Walls

Yes I did... that's what my Son asked for . He works for a builder that uses this method sometimes. Myself; I don't know to much about it (Plumber by trade)

Thx for revisiting Jo_Ann. I would send the plan out (just have to figure out how). I just removed the Board/Batten exterior from the Basement wall (at least I thought just the Basement), but because of the ICF construction, the walls are continuous from Footing to Truss. Below is what it ends up looking like.

Well, thx for your time anyway... I know, I'm in over my head... but that's typical me!

No need (I think). The terrain falls away only about 12" from one side to the other.

I need the footing to be below frost line, and trying to balance the number of steps going up to the main floor, and number of steps down to the basement ( using a concrete well w/stairs. FYI, the walls are all ICF construction.

As per the screen shot below, I have my subfloor set to 48" above terrain, but the board/batten extends all the way down to the "basement" floor level. I'm not getting it yet. Thx for your time.

Thx Rookie65. I'll look into that solution... One other question; How do I stop the exterior siding a few inch's above the terrain all the way around the house?

Thx Jo_Ann. I did find it in "Help", but it just gives me the definition. First time I've ever heard the term "Belly Band" tho

This simple rendering is begging for a white board at the rim joist, to break up the vertical board & batten lines... can't find the tools to accomplish this. (the "Box" tool is unavailable in the elevation view) FYI, I'm a complete Noob

Can you share a screenshot... I don't see where to adjust joist depth. I have designed with 16" truss joists, but would like to maybe use 2x8 (mid wall supported)

Ahh, double click does the trick. I still can't drag the cabinet away from the DW tho... they seem to be linked once in place Gracias

Thanks solver, I ended up extending the walls around the whole stair/landing area (to create a separate rm), then I was able to lower the floor. Re - the dishwasher ; the problem is, it won't allow me to select the cabinet anymore after I move the DW into place.
