Pony wall framing

I need to change siding materials half way up a wall.  I thought a pony wall would be perfect.

However, CA frames this as two stacked walls each with their own top and bottom plates.

I'm ballooned through the floor with the "Stop at floor below" structure option if this makes a difference.

I just want 1 bottom and 2 top plates, continuous studs with the siding change at the specified pony wall height.

Any suggestion on how to achieve this?

 

Thank you, in advance, for your kind assistance.

Hi Eric, from your simple example seems to work fine.

I my complex situation with a ballooned wall and an adjacent roof plane (parapet roof deck),

CA separates the pony wall into two, with plates at the change in siding.

I've given up on the pony wall idea and just going to ignore it even though my roof plane framing overlaps the siding where it shouldn't be.

I'll make a note on the drawings, and siding materials will be a little overstated.

 

Thank you for your advice.
