I am creating the model for a 2 story home, main floor with daylight basement. See attached photo. The proposed design I am working on is going to replace the deck on the left hand side with a garage and new deck (balcony room) over it.
After watching a couple of videos on how to model a daylight basement, I started with drawing the main (upper) floor level on floor 1. My intention then was to "build foundation" on floor "0" to create the pony walls and footings for the daylight basement.
However, I am now seeing that then trying to build a garage on floor 0 doesn't work in the program. Should I instead place the main floor on "2", build a new floor "1" and then just add footings under floor "1"? This would allow me to build the garage and balcony over it on floors 1 and 2.
Which leads to my next question: When should you build a model with walk out basement on Floors "1" and "2" vs "0" and "1"? Is it possible to create a model on Floors "0" , "1" & "2" and have the same outcome as using only "0" & "1" with regards to the foundation and footings?
