I have a multi layered cmu wall: an 8" block exterior and a metal stud furring wall on the interior. I unlocked the stud and gyp. board layers so I could slide them up to lie on top of the concrete slab while the cmu continues down to a concrete footing. When I try to place the footing I get two of them; one for the 8" cmu and another for the stud and gyp. wall. I can't figure out how to get a single footing for the 8" wall. I tried to make a separate stud and gyp. wall but when I insert window they will only cut the cmu wall. help

Do the reverse. Unlock the CMU layer and drag it down rather than dragging the finishes up...

Thanks but no luck, still produced 2 footings. Could be operator error?

Okay, just had a play. (BTW, I don't use the wall footing tools as I found them pretty limiting). The Wall footing will always be located at the actual base location of the wall and not at the base extension distance. So your original setup of lifting the stud and gypsum up is the correct approach. That said, I just applied a wall footing to a wall using this exact setup and it worked fine and I only have 1 footing correctly located at the bottom of the CMU (Blockwork)...

Thanks again, but still no luck. Initially I thought the problem might be the fact I had the base level of the wall at the floor line with a base offset of -24". I changed it so that the base level was at the top of footing and moved the stud/gyp. up to the floor but still got two footings.????

not totally sure why it is creating a footing at both levels, but if you do separate your walls until you figure it out, place both walls then join them. Then your windows and doors should cut both walls.
