I figured it out for those who ever have this problem. Don't delete footers along the footprint of the home and forget to add them back. There was nothing separation the living & porch space on the fdn....DUH

I will check....I think that gets updated automatically when you do the -4" floor setting.

I am about ready to pull my hair out and I am already a bald guy. In default settings my default floor level (one story home) is set to a 10' ceiling height throughout and floor height @ 0. I manually click my porch spaces & input the them to -4" floor level for the step downs in the foundation. Why does the porches sometimes keep resetting to 0 floor height or certain rooms inside set themselves to -4". I have fought this over the years but it has been quite a while since this has kept happening on one of my projects. It's like that game whack a mole in the room spaces haha......

This is a block stem wall by the way. I create these all the time with a rowlock feature and it is just not cooperating this time.

Yep, I may just have to do that. I was trying to avoid it. Thanks!

Thanks guys let me see if I can compress the file.

I like to use sills on my stem wall tops. I am helping a fellow CA user (their plan file) in the area and we all use settings differently. When I build the fdn the caps are not sitting on the stem wall tops. I do not have the option to vertical and horizontal settings. Any advice what this may be?

Thanks guys! All good info.....

Is there ANYTHING else in the library for board & batten besides what we all have, CA board & batten and James Hardie products. Hardie B&B is too close together and looks like metal and CA B&B just doesn't stand out as well in renderings. See below, one is my file and the other is my same file I threw into chatgpt. The battens are way better in chatgpt and more appealing to send clients. Not a big deal though, just asking. I love CA, don't get the wrong idea.

I use railing walls and turn off everything except the top and bottom handrails then manually build everything else. I use polyline solids for the screen and paint it with a screen texture. For the door I use a glass panel door and paint the glass with the same screen texture.

I need to dress mine up but it got the point across I see. Glad between all the answers here it helped you.

Here is one I have in work.....base cabinets are the way to go..........and walls under stairs to form the enclosure. Client wants a space to lie down and read books. I gave him 7' of cushioned area.

Do you call out the radius on these roof plane types? I do every time I do them BUT wonder if it is more of a visual thing for the framer and he care less about radius callout?
