12' tall walls with floor joists at 8' height

I am trying to design a house that will have 12' tall studs and the floor joists will be installed so the bottom of the floor joist is at the 8' height. The stud wall will extend up 3' above the floor joist to provide a knee wall for the 2nd story loft. 

 

How do I create this look in chief architect?

 

Attached is a section of the house showing what I am trying to do.

I’d guess that you would make a second floor that is 4 feet tall, ceiling height, and then balloon frame the first floor walls through the ceiling above to get the 12 foot tall walls. I’m not in front of a computer right now so I can’t test that to make sure it’s accurate
