Two-Story Porches

[DeLayDesign]

It's not very often I come across them, but from time to time they pop up.  I can remember figuring out how to make it work for me before, but now I can't see to remember.

I know I can build it in sections with invisible walls, and place the columns myself, but what's the proper way to get chief to realize the first floor wall shouldn't travel past the second?

OK; so what I ended up doing was pulling the first floor wall down manually, then grabbed the second floor wall from the side (the top wouldn't let me pull it down) and pulled it all the way across the front face.

There are probably other ways to create this design...see the attached screen clip.

 I'm not sure there is a "proper way" , I think it's another of Chief's Quirks , ie the 1st floor wall ignoring the 2nd floor wall that is already above it in this situation, it should "sense" the wall / floor platform above and stop UNLESS the user Balloons it Up.  ( The 1st floor Wall doesn't sense 2nd Floor Windows either which is a problem I run into occasionally and  if that happened this Issue would come up either.)

 

* Like you I had to pull the 1st floor wall back down manually  ( unfortunately there's no "stop at 2nd Floor platform" radio button.
