Foundation Help

I honestly don't have a clue what has happened to my foundation and floor levels but something it's right. If you pull up the right elevation and look at the story pole dimensions they are all out of whack. The porches and garage needs to be 4" lower than the house and everything should be on a slab foundation with 48" stemwalls. There should also be 4" of concrete showing above the terrain. This was one of my first jobs that someone else started and a lot of things have gotten changed since I first started working on it and I've clearly messed up something along the way and I don't know how to fix it. Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this and how to fix it please?

Step 4: In Plan View, go to Level 0, select each Room in turn and make sure all the  Absolute Elevation and Relative Heights wrenches are checked.

Step 5: Select all the Foundation Walls and ensure that the Wall Specification>Structure>Default Wall Heights>Default Wall Top Height and Default Wall Bottom Height are checked.

Step 6: Go to Level 1 and do the same for all the Exterior Walls, except for the kitchen bump-out.

 

These steps should take you most of the way there, though you may have to mess around with the kitchen bump-out.

You may also want to investigate this setting for the Foundation Walls: Wall Specification>Structure>Platform Intersections>Ceiling Platform>Hang Floor Platform Above on Wall.
