    I would do this the same way as Adam with a revision or two. I would
    start with the underground wall at the proper full depth and then
    edit it using the detailed edit mode. I would replace the
    underground walls with the exterior walls because I think it's a
    little easier than messing with underground heat-transfer, etc.<br>
