single exterior wall, different wall construction

[JasonByrne]

On my building the south side (side with doors)

will be 4' pony wall with brick, there will be a 2' return on the east side (right in photo). Zero return of brick on the west side. The west and north (back) sides will have a 4' cement pony wall while the east (right) side and 18' of the north side will be wood framed to the ground. The office is 18' x 40' and will be framed except for the front and 2' return on right (east) side.

Soooo...CA is not letting me change the wall on the north which is stick framed, 18' wide x 16' tall siding and the rest of the wall (72') is 4' pony wall and 12' framed/siding. The picture is of the south wall and the east wall. 2' of the east wall is pony wall w/brick and the rest is framed and sided. There will be no brick on the west and back sides. CA either lets me put brick all around OR cement all around. Help?

The height of the walls is determined by the ceiling height. Turn off auto roof build, set the ceiling heights. I like to place cad lines dimensioned where I want to break a wall to have a different wall type.

I’ve run into similar mixed-wall setups, and the easiest path for me was to break the walls into separate wall types and use wall breaks so each segment shows the right veneer and pony height. Keeping the pony wall heights locked helps stop Chief from reshuffling things. I had emersonproservices.com handle a brick return on a recent project, and matching their real-world layout in Chief made the modeling go smoother.
