Hi everyone,

I’m trying to remove the concrete foundation wall in Chief Architect, but I want the wood framing to sit directly on top of the cinder block piers. I already have beams under the structure, which are supposed to represent the cinder blocks used as the home’s foundation.

What I need help with is:

Removing the continuous foundation wall.

Ensuring the floor framing (joists/beams) sits directly on top of the block piers.

If someone could assist me with this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting..  have you tried doing a complete wall, then removing the blank sections with a window pass through?  Just throwing something out here.  I would think this would keep your framing above, but I'm not guaranteeing that.
