The wood walls should align to the the foundation NOT the brick. Think of the brick as a facade. It does not support the walls above it.
The brick is a structural member as long as installed with Type S mortar and supported by the footing. While it doesn't have to be a structural member the brick certainly can be. See the image.

I'm pretty new to chief and am having a hard time figuring out how to create my foundation walls (8" CMU w/ brick) so that my 1st floor walls align over the brick rather than the main foundation layer (block). Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks Ryan. It was my wall definition. I moved my brick to my main layer with my block foundation wall and was able to line it up. I had previously had it in my exterior layer. I appreciate the response.
