Hi michaelfoto,

For most of the items, the order is not important in Punch. For example, you can draw the walls and add the piers after, but if you are using the automatic ceiling tool, you must create the walls first and the ceiling after

I'd suggest to set the ceilings' heights first --. design --> Default ceiling heights--> this will help you to place the elements in the right elevation

In order to place the piers under your current plan, your can select all the plan and modify the elevation--> Edit --> Select All --. Edit --> Set object elevation (or right click on the elevation slider - left of the screen)
You can also move the entire plan to the upper floor --> Edit --> Select all--> Edit --> Move to Upper floor . Remember to set the ceiling heights first -- > in this case, the first floor height will be the piers' height

Regarding the ceilings and walls--> you can change the walls' heights modifying it in the properties bar (press Enter after each modification). Selecting all the exterior walls, you can use the ceiling/floor automatic tool (bottom of the properties bar)

Hi michaelfoto,

Regarding your questions

The elements developed with the tools of the foundation tab (main program) are not visible in 3D. In addition, the piers are not included in the tools of the foundation tab.
In order to develop the structural elements and customize materials, you should use the Framing Editor Power Tool. After this, the structural elements and materials will appear in the Estimator

In this image, you can see a house on piers
