  1. This may solve a few issues for you. Just place door in wall of foundation and good to go. Minor height adjustment that's all.

    I didn't see any extra wall on plan you attached. Could be wall got adjusted from room dbx. Just drag them down if you want. Also you don't really need room on main level so you could eliminate the invisible walls. 

    Normally I would draw stairs for something like that as a p solid because we require a wall below upper portion. Just use a closed polyline to show concrete fill for sections.

     

     

  2. Without seeing the plan, I would recommend you turn on reference display (F9). Go to second floor and you will see where walls on first floor are. Drag your walls over to the referenced first floor walls. You can then use the align tool(bottom toolbar when wall is selected) to get it precise.

  3. Draw it without monolithic slab.Try a regular concrete stem wall with 2" insulation layer. Set foundation to 24" and no footing checked on wall. Set floor to 4" concrete instead of joists and 0 for room height in foundation room structure. You will have to make two adjustments in section view. 1. slab will go over top of insulation - just drag polyline back after auto detail. 2. you will not have chamfer showing - just adjust polyline to show this after auto detail. You can set your wall lines to be dashed in wall dbx if you choose to show more accurately.

  4. Usually always two walls. If you want any type of sub-floor structure such as dri-core etc. it will stop at wall not under it. Layers don't seem to help that since it is foundation wall. Also the slab will come up to frame wall not concrete wall. The other issue is that it will draw it all at the height of stem wall. Your top plates will not be right up to the the joists and no adjusting.

  5. I agree Michael. Made a copy of it and tried autobuild roofs to see what would happen. Got roof rafters showing in default set with the layer not even turned on. Copied walls to my new metric template and no issues with roof whatsoever. Gremlins lol

  6. It should be drawing attic walls automatically if auto rebuild walls is on. Worst case scenario you could draw them manually and just label as attic and line up with walls below using reference display.
