Please remind me how to show true sea level elevation. I seem to have forgotten where this is controlled. thanks

The foundation is not auto built. I built it manually.... I think it is ALMOST as fast to build manual as auto build..... But what was auto was AUTO DETAILING, and the walls are there in 3d which is nice. There was no manipulating the height of the walls , they were auto heights.

or (punt the football)

Hey Robert, I know a lot of guys build these foundations auto, I just don't understand how they do it..... or maybe they only do simple foundations. This is a good example of a project that I doubt can be built auto without some later auto tweaking. How does one decide on which side to put the protruding lower pony wall? And then there is the missing lower pony wall if the pony wall is on the wrong side.... maybe CA can look into this.

I just noticed this..... Why aren't posts numbered anymore? If I want to refer to a particular post in a particular thread, how do I do this if the post is not numbered?

It is no problem if you build the garage slab lower than house floor. But I think the OP wants the garage slabs 12" higher than the house floor...... that is where the issues begin.

I have been playing with this with my own model (similar set up) . It seems I can get it to build correctly if... the lower concrete stem wall protrudes into the living room. Of course I would like the lower concrete stem wall to protrude into the garage but then it does not build correctly. See pics. Can anybody edit one of my plans so the lower wall of pony wall protrudes into the garage and it builds correctly ? I think this is a bug. garage foundation plan for review 4 protrudes into living room.plan garage foundation plan for review 4 protrudes into garage.plan

Rob, I do not think your model is building as it would be built (For as I would build it) the concrete stem wall needs to go up to it is higher than the slab. The first picture is you model, the second picture shows how I think it should be built. If you would not build it my way, could you build it my way? t. T

I will admit that I fully do not understand what is going on. But I think this is interesting.... not the foundation wall builds above the slab and then there is the 8" conc pony wall..... this is a fun model to work out.

see if this helps garage foundation plan for review 3.plan

It looks like you are using 2 walls and the CASING is set to NOT THROUGH. Please post the plans and somebody will help.

You owe me, my. first guess was correct, it it the ROOFS, OVERHANG AREA

Save the plan as junk, quit Chief Architect and then drag the file to the box below. YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THE PLAN before you drag the plan file to your post. prattville plan.plan

Hey, wait a minute, do you live in Prattville Ala.? We were planning on going there tomorrow for a week to play the RTJ Trail..... been planning it for a year and the *(Y&(*Y(*Y epidemic came up. We will come out next May, maybe we will see you on the course.

hmmm,, it sure would be easier if you posted the plan but if I had to guess, and I do since you did not post plan, it is the ROOFS, OVERHANG AREA.

In the old days we called those "construction lines" drawn in blue lines and they did not print. I WISH WE HAD CONSTRUCTION LINES!!!!@!!!!! Hit a magic hot key and they all disappear in one fell swoop. I have requested these numerous times but to date the request has fallen on deaf ears. AM I YELLING LOUD ENOUGH???

this is the cabinet that was effecting the backsplash. (it it 3")

Thanks Perry!!!

Make it deeper, give it a blue material and now you have the walls of a. pool. Copy that "hole" and convert to a poly line solid, drop it down 12" and give it a water material and now you have the. water in a pool.

Try this..... Make the grass height -2" and a thickness of 1" and then check the CLIP OVERLAPPING TERRAIN FEATURES for the DRIVEWAY, you can do clip for grass but not necessary

BTW, I have always advocated for having more floors than you need. I don't see any downside. This can really come in handy when dealing with REF SETS. What is the easiest way to hide a ref set in plan if you don't want to see it and you are too lazy top take it out? Refer the ref'd floor to floor 13.... you get the idea.

Best way to build those is to add a 2nd floor clerestory fixed.plan
