HumbleChief Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Curious as to what others are doing out there. I've always drawn them auto on floor 0 but might rethink my approach. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Larry, You did attend the Workshop: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/10651-the-jpcgraeme-floor-level-workshop-wednesday-aug24-at-400-pm-pst/?hl=workshop And watch the video : Maybe there are some new ideas?

HumbleChief Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think I did but I don't really get much new info from those workshops and I think my question should/could be much simpler than the examples in the workshop. Do you use mono slabs? Do you draw them manually on floor 1? Or auto on floor 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I've done a string of jobs for a guy that builds RV barns, all of them monoslabbed, and have not used level 0. If inside thickening is needed, such as for a single load point or at a loadbearing wall, I use p-line solids and line and layer control to include them in the plan and section views.

Good to know Gene. Do you build them manually on floor 1 with slab with footing tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I do almost all monoslabs and have them on level 0 built auto where possible ie most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If selecting perimeter walls and specifying footing parameters is called "manually," then yes, done manually. If there's a better way, I'm all ears. Why would Chief confuse us by giving us two ways to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Mono slabs on level 0 and forget about automatic slabs, just a starting point for me, at some point along the way you just need to turn them off and manually adjust from there or you will be spending all day trying to get it to work.

glennw Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I am mostly with Perry. Always draw mono slabs on level 0 and preferably auto. If you do them on level 1, you don't get a foundation layout and you can't edit the slab easily. Scott will probably post about the "virtual" level 1 mono slab which is really the mono slab you're having when you're not having a mono slab.
