    MPDesign's post in Garage next to Daylight Basement - Which Floor? was marked as the answer   
    Hi Ben,
    In my humble opinion anything that's below the dirt should be on level 0. This allows you to set the depth of the footings as needed per room. 
    So, in your case yes place Footings on 0. the garage and walkout on level 1. Main living level 2.

    It looks like you started with a metric template. What type of dimension are you looking for? metric or imperial?

    MPDesign's post in Staircases - stacked over each other - not doing well was marked as the answer   
    I would suggest getting your basement stairs sized and located first. Then build walls in the basement to stack under the entry walls above. This keeps your stack straight.
    Then use a room divider wall to create an unspecified room over your lower landing. Then draw your stairs going to 2nd floor/ attic.

    Hey Dan,
    Another option that I use is make a cad detail from view, delete everything but the stairs and block, copy, paste and hold position on the floor plan. Make sure to put it on the stairs layer.

    A quick way to achieve this.
    Put 2 breaks in the roof down at the eave edge.
    Pull the edge between the breaks up, to have an opening in the roof to walk thru.

    First adjust the window default setting to bump at 0. At the bottom of the window default dbx.
     
    Make sure your bumping and pushing are turned on, move them together. Select first window, hold shift key and select 2nd unit, click make block tool.
