Thanks everyone for your responses. Upon further investigation it seems to only be happening in this particular plan. It was originally created in X9 and then imported. I'll try tech support but if it doesn't get anywhere I guess I'll put up with it while I work in this plan. Kevin

Happy Tuesday! On deleting any object I'm given the prompt shown in the image below. If I click SAVE then it saves and closes Chief. If I click CANCEL it deletes the object but also closes any other view tabs I have open. This is new to me in X15. Do I have something set wrong??? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your patience. If you click down to the foundation level, that is the existing foundation showing where the existing garage is.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the area on the left of the shaded area is currently garage and I will be framing a floor over the slab. The existing roof structure will remain. The current garage slab is -14". The new front garage will also be at -14" relative to top of subfloor. The walls in red are existing in the basement. I am not planning on changing the slab or foundation of the existing garage. I want to draw the garage foundation with the slab 4" below the top of stem wall. This is where I'm really having trouble. I know I could re-build the foundation and add the interior walls again. In this case that wouldn't be too time consuming but I am trying to learn if I can create the proper garage foundation without rebuilding.

Sorry about that, take a look at this file, it's the proper one. Thanks for helping. House with Garage and Interior Additions.zip

So I made an error in creating an original garage several years ago (X9 version) and did not rebuild the foundation after I labelled it as a garage. Therefore it is on footings and stem walls but I don't have an option to drop the floor below the top of the stem wall. (My previous post) At the time it was in an as-built and didn't really impact anything. Now I'm doing an addition to the garage end of that house and need to remedy this. I've searched and can't find a way to only rebuild part of the foundation and I can't find a way to create "garage" stem walls. I'm just trying to avoid redrawing the whole basement and trying to learn something new at the same time. I've attached the original plan. (as an aside, what's the best way to compress larger .plan files to include here?) House with Garage and Interior Additions.zip

Good Day. I've set the Stem Wall to Floor height as 3" in my Garage Foundation defaults. When I draw the garage in my plan, the SWT to Ceilng value is greyed out and the SWT to Ceiling value is the same as the Rough Ceiling height - ie no stem wall above floor. What am I missing? X15
