    FOUNDATION ELEVATION ISSUES

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Use the "open below" room type for your stairs to show up on the main level.  For the grade to be at floor level, open the terrain specification dialog box and set building pad to 1/2" to 1" - a value of zero will cause your porch floors to conflict with the grade.   The other foundation issues are going to require more time to explain.  There are folks on here that you can hire to train you, or hire to clean up your models.  

    Thank you for your help.
