Open Below causes Foundation to Change

Ron, the program is smarter than we are. It realizes, it would be simpler just to plate the top of the block wall and stud it up, in stead of having the rim joist run across it then having the contractor / framer, have to furr it out to line up with the wall above and below to make a smooth transition from top to bottom, as well as having to sub floor the top of the joist then set studs on the ledger. If you want a plant ledge there, you would have to offset the framing, etc. That make any sense?
