Viewing layers of the first floor wall construction from an upper level?

I am attempting to layout some framing components in the attic of a one story house and would really benefit from being able to see the wall layers of the first floor. Trouble is I don't completely have a handle on the viewing range settings for something like that or how to turn on that level of detail for a lower layer.

 

Can you see anything blatantly obvious that I have wrong in my settings?

BTW - These are 8ft ceilings.

Why not use View Underlay to assist you?  

 

Regarding getting a handle on View Range, check this link out - it's pretty good:

In your Properties in the Underlay section, change your Range Base Level to First Floor.

Underlay definitely helped. Is there any way to turn up the level of detail so I can see the wall layers on the first floor?
