Did you try doing it as a "Post with footing" from the framing drop down box?

See my reply above. Change the vertical light number under "Craftsman" style, and you will see the upper lights get smaller.

Have you tried setting the ceiling thickness to "0""? That should eliminate the materials and leave the framing showing.

Look at the options under "type" and experiment with them. You won't have an option for "movable" in a fixed window.

Double check the detail and make sure the right items are on the right layer. Please change your signature also so it includes which program and version you are using.

Is it possible that the wall only showing framing does not have an exterior layer of siding, etc?

Depending on which version of Home Designer you have, you should be able to. Yet keep in mind that when you Auto rebuild the foundation, whatever you have drawn in the basement will disappear. If you're only going to make minimal possible changes to the main floor, just align the basement wall to the revised main floor wall manually with the align wall tool.

You use "pony walls", which I don't know if Suite has.

Did you check the bonus catalogs?

Do you have "grid snaps" turned on?

Post your. Plan file and maybe someone will take a look at it

Do you have auto-rebuild walls turned on?

Which program are you using, Home Designer Architectural 2024, or Chief Architect X15? There are different forums for each program. This is the Home Designer user forum.

Can't you just draw a cad line to show it?

Try making that railing invisible

Floor 1 is supposed to be at 0". Your basement is below grade, so its floor level would be a negative number. Read the reference manual for a better understanding

Use a room and manually add the posts you want with auto build foundation turned off

Maybe delete the wall and redraw it then. Did you change the materials in the wall dbx, or use the paint tools again?

Try opening the wall and then changing the materials

Pretty much the same answer as you got in 2022

Try raising the door off of the floor a small distance so the sill covers the break

Are both floor surfaces the same thickness? Maybe check if the door has the sill/threshold checked? Without the plan to look at, these are just guesses

It looks like you have a very wide bottom rail. Try making the newel post as wide and see if that helps. Or narrow down the bottom rail

Read up on "room divider" wall type

Just draw the plan once with no basement finish. Then copy the plan, keep just the basement level and finish to your hearts content. Submit it when the time comes. It will be much easier than anything else you're trying to come up with. You could have drawn it in the 2 days since you first asked about it.
