Gap between foundation and first floor 3D views

Hello,

 

I have a new floorplan that has developed what looks like a missing sill plate between basement & main level.  It does not appear adjacent rooms that step down (like front/rear porches & garages.)

I tried building all framing and all that did was make the sill plate appear (see third picture.)  I should be seeing exterior coverings extending below sill. 

My first thought was to make the sill plate concrete - this would be a quick fix, but one of the sill plates is across the front elevation which requires stone extending downward.

 

Has anyone else run into this, I tried searching the forum.

 

Thanks, John..

Thanks Chopsaw!

 

Changing it to 1.5" dropped the exterior material 1.5" below the sill plate....TOO MUCH.

I changed it to 1/8" and it covers the sillplate without being noticeably below the corner trim boards, which do extend to the bottom of sillplates automatically.

 

Thanks again.

John.
