The sill plate controls are found within the Foundation Wall Defaults. Here is one way you can access this. You might need to rebuild your framing after adjusting this. The wall framing controls in the wall types dialog are different. If this isn't quite what you were looking for, you may try posting the plan.

@ishoultz and @Donco15 If you decide to purchase Home Designer 2026 it does not affect your Home Designer Pro 2025 license. A few notes: (1) Plan files have always been forward compatible. They have never been backwards compatible. This means if you save a plan in Home Designer 2026, it cannot be opened in Home Designer Pro 2025. This is not new, but I thought was worth mentioning. (2) If you are on the rent-to-own path for HD Pro, you can continue making the consecutive monthly payments towards ownership. There is also a rental buyout option where you can make a one-time payment to pay it off and save money in the process. This avoids any potential issues from a missed payment (credit card decline, etc.) and secures your 2025 perpetual license. Contact sales directly for more details. (3) Upon release, there will be a free trial of Home Designer 2026 so you can evaluate the new program.

@barthmvYour usage of Home Designer 2025 will not change. You will still manage your plans, license, etc. as you always have. Generally we support the current version and one version back.

Hello ishoultz, Thank you for your question and interest in Home Designer! Yes, you will be able to continue on your Home Designer Professional 2025 rental without updating to the Home Designer 2026 subscription based license. Upgrading to a Home Designer 2026 subscription is optional, but not required. I hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have more questions!
