Did anyone ever get a response to this question. I am really struggling with the same issue, specifically the mulled unit with tapered top near the top of the wall. The auto framing makes a big mess of it. Framing for angled walls is IMO much more important to be able to show than a normal wall, so this seems like an important issue to address

Greg I am guessing others may want to know this as well - Where is the build going to take place. Geographic location will be a determining factor in who is able to help you out.

Sorry gents, don't mean to be a lazy poster but with March Break starting and coaching hockey I'm swamped. I was able to put this together in about 10 minutes so sorry for the crude line weights but I hope it will illustrate what I'm trying to do. The Styrofoam Form is 2 7/16" thick at the vertical edge. a 7/16" sheathing with 2" rigid on the wall system will make it about even at the outside face of the Styrofoam. I'm not using a standard stud wall, but didn't have time to show the structural panel wall for this detail. I am going to be using the 7.5" Greenstone Structural Solutions panels. https://www.gsbp.ca/. I like the Pony wall idea and hadn't thought of that. I will give it a try later tonight to see if I can make it do what I need. I have also tried to activate my signature but just in case it doesn't come through I am using the CA X11 Beta right now, just changed over from X10 a couple weeks back. Slab detail.pdf

I know that some builders don't like it but in this case I am using a system called Iso-Slab which is a rigid foam insulation form which stays in place after the pour. I will have no choice but to deal with the insulation at the edge. It creates a totally insulated floor and has some advantages for the climate here in Thunder Bay Canada.

I will try to post a CAD detail this evening. I am using a Monolithic Slab system that has a 2-7/16" layer of rigid insulation around the perimeter of the concrete. The structural exterior wall sits on the slab leaving up to a 2" difference below that will need to be capped. I am hoping to be able to show the rigid insulation on the exterior vertical edge of the slab for the elevations and renders.

Has anyone had any experience with getting CA to place a rigid insulation layer around the perimeter and under a monolithic slab. Under isn't as important as the perimeter is. The layer at the perimeter affects the transition to the wall above and has an impact on the aesthetics of the exterior design (at least for the project I am working on). Developing the CAD detail is easy enough for building permit purposes but the exterior elevations and renders won't show it making it difficult to accurately showcase the grade level transition. I hope that makes sense.
