Probably another stupid question from me, but, if you look at the attached image you can see a cross section that i cut. I need the Brick Siding and the sheathing from the second floor to extend down to the first floor height. Could someone please tell me how to accomplish this?
Thanks

Select any instance of that wall type, go to the wall's type properties, turn on the Preview and switch to a section view. Zoom into the bottom of the wall, click Modify, and then click on each layer to "unlock" that layer. You can only unlock adjacent layers, and you should probably unlock your outer layers (including sheathing), but leave the core layer locked. Then go back to your model and when you click on the upper wall, it will have a second arrow at the bottom of the wall that you can drag down to the top of your lower wall.
Or you can also specify a Base Extension Distance in your wall's instance properties.
Alternatively, you could set your lower walls to extend up to the finish floor level of your upper floor, and then join the floor to the wall. That will cut a part of the wall out and will achieve the same result graphically in both section and elevation.
