my smd component things its a thru hole

The below info is a test just to prove my issue, but in short the SMD thinks its a thru hole on the PCB.

Here I put it on the edge where there are no conflicts on the layer I put it on

here is the 3d view

...

I had to make my own sch library files but the foot print was available. I made my own sch and then added the foot print. But when adding to my PCB it conflicts on the under side layer. It looks likes pads are drawn on both side.

I see no way to draw pads on both layer in the editor how was that done?

looks like the 3d image broke this was the image

I also see this

can I just tell it top layer instead of multi ?

It sounds like you need to edit the footprint to remove the pads from the bottom layer.

If the properties window you showed is global properties, you probably still want multilayer.

that was a property for a pad in the footprint. How do I do this for the entire footprint, or do I need to do each pad? So I just change to top solder?

I don't know this CAD tool - my CAD software allows operating on a group at the same time.

You are correct. You can just set it to the top layer instead of multi. Top layer will also automatically include other layers such as the solder mask and paste mask.
