Can't build a garage on foundation home... *Help*

I found the youtube video for how to do it from the tutorials thread, and I can't get it to work right.

When I flatten the walls, it only lets me go to the part where it needs to flatten, where it meets with my house, and not to the end. Because, I think it needs to be foundation height after that?

Well, because mine won't flatten to the end, it just looks like this..

Any help please?

    You could flatten the garage wall to be the height of the foundation, then add a regular wall on top of it.

    Here is what I would suggest:

    Save your lot as it is in case you mess it up.

    1. Delete the wall facing to the right towards the garage.
    2. Place a foundation square at each of the outside corners of the garage.
    3. Turn on constrainfloorelevation
    4. Drag the level tool across these squares and the garage to the porch.
    5. Turn off constrainfloorelevation
    6. Delete the foundation squares.
    7. Place the walls around the garage which will also replace the wall you deleted. Now you should be able to finish the tutorial.

    One more thing- this could mess up any upper floors that you have. It is better to build this kind of garage first so you don't have those issues.

    Hope this helps!
