Unwanted Elevated Foundation Sections

I have two places in my foundation that are raised and can't seem to get rid of them.  I realize you may not be able to help without the plan itself but unfortunately, my plan is now too large to upload here.  If there is a way to reduce the size for uploading I'm all ears.

 

I've tried playing around with footings but only the lower part below the foundation raises and lowers.  I tried moving foundation walls but then I lose my room definition.

The walkway where they are raised is part of a porch that has a -3" floor.

This makes answers guesses always based only upon scanty evidence. I would redraw the foundation walls manually in the areas where you are having visual problems. Another solution is to delete the stem walls and replace with a polyline slab with footings. Polyline slabs are simpler and easier to control than foundation walls. how those foundation walls are aligned with the first floor is often a reason for such unwanted artifacts as well.

Thank you David.  I'll try your suggestions.  I'm not sure why but my plan file size is getting out of control.  I performed a simple modification and it went from 22MB to 44MB.  Seems the limit for uploading is 14MB.
