DougDM Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have tried just about everything on this one,,,I need to build a box to conceal a waste line in a basement job. There isn't room behind the waste to run the common wall down. So I need to do similar to whats in the attached snapshot, Question.... How do I raise the lower plate of the main wall to sit on the box, show correctly in 3D, and have the lower box frame correctly? I've tried a 16" railing wall with a flat roof for the box which came the closest but still no raising of plate on the main wall. I know I can create different floor levels to do this but there must be an easier way. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneK Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Manually adjusted interior walls, no room def on walls, used landing for horizontal deck but can not frame it and if you move landing interior wall gets covered and won't show in 3d overview.

Good suggestions, however I will go a step further and recommend a roof plane in lieu of landing (that way you get the framing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougDM Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sorry I didn't thank you guys for your suggestions, I used a solid for presentations then just manually framed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I would avoid using a roof plane in that sort of situation as it has the potential to cause too many problems. A roof in the guts of the house is not a good idea. I would create a room and use the new Shelf Ceiling option. It will auto frame the walls and the ceiling. PS Ah, I just realised that this is an older post. Oh well, it still may help - and it's good that we have the new tool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
