Aligning walls with walls below

[Ed_Orum]

I need to align interior first floor walls with interior basement walls below.  Exterior walls are no problem, the first floor wall main layer aligns to the basement outside main layer.

But when I go to aligh the first floor walls with bearing basement walls below, it places the first floor wall in the center of the bearing wall below.  I need to line up the outside main layer on the interior first floor wall to the outside of the interior basement wall below.

Thanks in advance.

Chief will align walls with their outer edges by default. This article covers the topic in detail:

You will have to do this manually...

 

From the first floor level, turn on reference display, then...drag the wall to the side of the foundation wall. It should snap to it. (if you don't see the foundation wall in your reference display...you will need to turn that layer in in the layer set)
