Hi there,
I have unlocked the finishing layer of my wall to allow me to control its height in section. This creates an issue with my foundation by wall as it associates a foundation to the base of the offset (see image).
I only need the foundation at the base of the wall and do not need one to be associated to the extension offset. The issue is I cant see the option anywhere to remove this association...
Ideally I want to keep the ability to control these wall layers so that my detail views match my 3D model, saves me having to do lots of cut profile which all ultimately lose their host if the wall moves at all,
Does anyone have any smart ideas / workarounds for this?

The simplest way is to draw a Foundation Wall rather than using a Wall Foundation, they work downwards so will be associated the the same level as the bottom of the wall and may give more flexibility.
But you can also enter a Value for the Base Extension Distance in the Properties Palette
Thanks for the response. If possible I'd like to avoid drawing the foundations manually because the by wall functionality is very convenient for adjusting wall locations and build-ups. I don't want to have to end up adding loads of constraints to the model for the foundations ideally.
I use this method for more flexibility but appreciate your approach too!
Therefore as previously stated simply the Properties Palette and Edit the Value for the Wall Layer offset rather than dragging arrows
Ah turns out the behaviour is driven by the wall join condition. Changing the wall corners to join as 'square off' has fixed the double foundation issue.
Fix one issue but creating another as that wall join does not look right so now needs manually work to fix!
Not in my model, maybe play with the wall build up to see the problematic layer
