Cut foundation stem wall with door

Anonymous
Not applicable
The bottom of my garage doors are 6" below the main floor. They don't cut through the foundation stem wall. How do I get the garage doors to cut through the top of the stem wall? Should the stem wall be created with the beam tool or the wall tool?

If your stem wall is a separate wall to the one you placed the garage doors in then it won't be cut by the door.
Doors and windows can only belong to one wall and therefore only cut openings in that one wall.

You will need to place a separate empty opening in your stem wall or create a single wall for the stem and main wall - it will need to be a complex profile wall if the thickness and materials change.
