Adding a basement

Some of us put the Foundation on Level 0, Basement on Level 1, First Floor on Level 2, Second Floor on Level 3, etc.  This is my preference for a finished Basement situation - especially for a Walk-Out

 

Others use Level 0 for the Foundation and the Basement, First Floor on Level 1, Second Floor on Level 2.  I think that can complicate things.

Hanna,

 

You will need to define a Terrain Perimeter and set the Elevation in order to get the Foundation to build properly.You will need to manually create the Foundation under the extended areas at the First Floor.  You also need to set the Foundation Type correctly and change the Basement Exterior Wall Type to Concrete or CMU.

 

Other wise I don't see a problem.

Simple answer is to just use a Rich Text Box placed on a unique layer.

 

Better yet, change the Label of the Layout Box when you send the Plan to Layout.

 

There are ways to use macros to get the Floor Number and adjust it based on the Level.  I could provide you with a couple of macros to do it.
