I have a Floor with a height of 18&#39;. Some of the interior walls are shorter at about 12&#39;, with a continuous footing along them.

If it&#39;s not a structural wall it does not need to be in the model at all.</p> <p>If it does need to be in the model for some reason and it stops at a lower elevation with beams above it, that are not supported by it, then 2 levels types and 2 stories are required.
