Foundation dimensions

[Jakereinhardt55]

Is there a way to dimension from the stem wall and not the brick ledge on a foundation? The way I have gotten around this up till now is just having the foundation build to stud. I would like to still show brick ledge if I can that way the cross section and interior foundation measurements are correct but I just don’t want to dimension to it.

i think this is what you're looking for. under the wall DBX, you can choose which layer of the wall you want dimensioned.

That’s kind of what I’m asking. I was hoping I could get the program to do this automatically with a concrete wall so I could control brick ledge height but it looks like I may need to create special wall types for this situation.

Use a pony wall. Specify depth of top 4" concrete wall over a lower 8" concrete wall to establish brick ledge height.  Use a different pattern for the lower 8" concrete wall used as brickledge and display both walls. And keep same pattern for 4" wall as you have for full height non-brickledge 8" walls.
