X16 Align "Foundation to exterior of layer" no longer working?

On a brick veneer house with brick foundation exterior layer, I used to be able to go into wall settings and align the face of brick veneer to the face of brick foundation by Wall Type Definition> Wall Settings> Foundation to exterior of layer: and set all wall types to exterior layer 1 Brick.  In X16 this is no longer working.

 

I have to move the foundation wall type 8" cmu with 4" brick settings layer 1 brick and layer 2 air gap back into main layer for the auto build or align to work properly.  

 

Does anyone have any feedback on what happened after X15 or why the align to exterior face brick no longer works.  The only Chief Tutorials I can find date back to before 2021 and the user interface does not match.

 

I've found a work around but i don't remember it being this hard with x12-x15

I don't remember anything changing with this in either X16 or X17.  I even checked the X16 migration guide and didn't see anything about foundation walls:

You might have messed up something in the wall types or some other setting.  You should post your plan so someone can take a look at it.
