  1. Haunch's post in What is the best way to depict Floating/Hanging walls? was marked as the answer   
    @Greg_NY61 ... the image you posted is exactly what framing a door with floating walls looks like.  I was looking on how to show the "floating" aspect of a wall in CA. With the expansive soil in Colorado, walls in the basement over a slab are required to be hung from the joists, then secured to a pressure treated board nailed into the concrete slab using spikes through the footer board of the wall, so when the slab heaves or sinks +-3 inches the slab will not push up on the framed wall and thus pushing up on the joists (and the rest of the house)
     
     
    For the information of all, I got a response from support, and here is their response:
     
    Thank you all for your responses, but support provided the answer I was looking for.  (Originally they suggested I post my question here, but then followed up with exactly how to do it in CA)
