My client is asking for the exterior walls to be slightly flared out (wider at the base) and taper up to a conventional 2x6 wall. I was thinking I could draw a straight 2X6 ext. wall and then add a triangular profile sweep at the base that would wrap around the building. Does this sound like the best way to accomplish this or does anyone have a better idea or technique they have used?

As always, thanks for the great help from everyone out there!

I think I'd use the sweep. I've used sweeps to define brick steps etc prior to the compound wall options, and a good thing is that windows/doors etc will cut the sweep properly. Gives you the ability to change the materials of the taper for study also.
