Trying to make a new wall with the base 2x4 siding.

 

I've done a save as:

adjusted my siding to start 3' from the bottom

added new material (brick). starts @ ground and rises up to 3'.  The problem I'm having is the horizontal start, it won't let me move it out past my 2x4 stud.

Matthew,

Without seeing a screenshot of your wall definition, the only thing that comes to mind is make sure you "layer" the wall items from "outside" to "inside".

In other words, make your brick the first item in the wall definition because it sticks out the farthest, and then add your siding, sheathing, plates, stud, drywall, etc.

You need to change the horizontal offset of the framing materials... the outer most material will have horizontal offset of 0.. set other material offsets as needed...
