Stop the foundation from cutting out below

Does anyone know a way to stop the door opening from cutting out the foundation below. I have my door flush to the top of the foundation floor and wall, but it still cuts out the opening. I have raised my door but that does not work. 

 

Thank you,

Steve

Steve - Well, I placed the door elevation relative to the "Finished Floor"...along with my change to the "elevation of lower wall top"...and it seems to work. I also turned off the "exterior casing".

Thank you, Steve. 
The walls I'm having a problem with are the front larger doors (see highlight). I have a foundation plan that is set to lower walls only... 

I do not seem it have problems with the doors you show. Maybe something moved on the plan when you opened it.

For now to keep going I just put in boxes with the hatch...

That front wall is a pony wall...and you placed a door into the wall that is cutting the lower portion of the wall. I don't think Chief will show the remaining area of the wall below the door. Just a guess...but, the actual "foundation" wall is below the door. And...since that wall is exposed to freeze...it will have to have a deep footing. 

 

Maybe you should have placed the lower level plan on "level 1"...and had a true foundation plan on "level 0"?

Thank you, Steve! I have drawn houses with a lower basement before. My template is just not set up for that. Maybe it is time to setup another template for that situation.
