Foundation Wall with slab shelf

How do I draw a foundation wall where there will be an internal shelf which will support a 4" concrete slab.?  The top of the slab will be level with the top of the wall.  Kind of like a brick shelf, but on the inside of the foundation wall.

The foundation walls will be 10" thick, with the required rigid R-10 under the slab.

 

Thanks in advance,

First make sure that the 1st floor type is setup correctly.  Remove any reference to lumber and framing etc.

Then prepare the foundation configuration.

1) Make the foundation wall a pony wall with the upper wall being a reduced thickness

2) Set the structure of the foundation wall hang the platform.  Adjust the height of the pony wall upper segment to be the same and the thickness (unless you wall something else).

And this is what you get
