Need Help - CMU foundation won't line up with sill plate on main level. Dimensions of 2x6 wall in main level should be same as CMU block foundation walls supporting

[Jpilot09]

I have developed a floor plan with 2x6 wood walls and 6" brick exterior.  When I build the foundation the dimensions of the CMU blocks are not aligned with the exterior walls on the main level?  What am I doing wrong to not have the CMU blocks not match the framing of the main level?

Answers often depend on which title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2018, 2019 etc) you are using.

 

You can help everyone by adding that info to your signature (see below for how to turn them on) by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left.

 

Doing so makes it always available, and keeps others from having to hunt for it.

 

And, turn on signature display too.

I'm having this same problem. I have general wall settings set to resize around the exterior of the main wall, but when I click on the "align with wall above" tool, I get the foundation aligned with the outer edge of my exterior facade. 

 

And my exterior wall only has the studs as the main layer as shown.

It's driving me nuts....

I figured it out....Sometimes I feel like 30 years of drafting counts for nothing.

 

You have to make sure the foundation walls are exterior facing. It's that whole, clockwise vs counter-clockwise drafting thing. Once you ensure your foundation walls are all facing the right way, everything lines up just fine.

I see you are using an older version, but the program has worked like I've shown in the video for some time.
