Half-height foundation wall with framed wall

[RitchG]

Greetings.

 

I am new to HD (have only played the demo thus far). I would like to model a split-entry ranch, which has a lower floor with walls that are (approximately) four feet of concrete foundation topped by (approximately) three and a half feet of stud wall. Is the pony wall feature the best way to construct such a wall?

Thanx.
