Charles Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Split Level Test.plan Aloha all, I'm trying to recreate an as-built with a split level as shown in the sketch. I tried doing a simple model and can't do it, see attached. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Charles, I am no monoslab expert but take a look at this and see if you can work with it. Almost resembles your sketch. Split Level Choped.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Charles, I can get this far, but I am having trouble getting the gyp board on the slab edge automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Glenn, I fixed the drywall situation but not auto. How did you eliminate the upper monoslab footing on top of the CMU wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This one looks better and seems to tick most of the boxes. I built the full height gyp lining from a 1/2" gyp wall. Chopsaw, you need to delete the Chamfer from the foundation wall. But this also deletes the chamfer from the bottom slab as well - just edit the Auto Detail for the slab and move on.

dshall Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Glenn, here is my go...... I put gyp bd on the cmu wall. I did not need to add the additional drywall wall. By the way, the gyp board that covers the slab is from the gyp bd at the cmu wall and not from the wall above.... take a close look at blow up pic.

Chopsaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Glenn, I thought it was important to use the insulated CMU wall that Charles built as we would never put drywall directly on CMU or concrete in Canada. I edited the footing in the Auto Detail but was left with a shadow. Did you mask or what is the trick that I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your efforts and i got a lot of additional ideas on how to approach this. @David, would you mind uploading your .plan file so I can check out your approach? @Chopsaw... this is an as built.... not my design.... you are right, not the proper way to build it.

Chopsaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Charles, What I was saying was that you did draw the CMU pony wall properly under the circumstances with an insulated separation between the concrete and drywall, as in your original custom pony wall definition. Assuming that even in Hawaii you can get condensation issues on concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 @chopsaw, yes the key in your response is "insulated separation" which we don't do much here in Hawaii. Condensation is not a huge issue, but vapor permeation and ground water penetration is (thanks to my degree from the school of hard knocks).

Chopsaw Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Charles, You have me totally confused now. Do you want the drywall applied directly to the concrete as Scott and Glenn drew it or do you want an insulated 2" interior wall as you drew it with a custom wall type? Or rather how do you need to illustrate the as-built. Just trying to help but don't understand what you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Any chance someone would do a vid on this? Are you guys handling this in the setting Dbx or doing some manual modeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Sure, If I only knew what you would like to see in the video? Some of each. Did you look over any plan files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 @Chopsaw.... sorry for the confusion, but I'm trying to simulate an as-built, no insulation. @David....Thanks for the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
