mthrift Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Good afternoon, I am working on rebuilding this plan to create construction documents from it. We are using 8" SIPs with 1" of exterior rigid insulation for the main floor walls and 10" concrete foundation walls with 6" exterior rigid insulation. How do I get these to line up so that the outside of the rigid insulation from the two wall types are flush? Dimensions are to go to the exterior of the concrete and SIPs. But I can adjust the dimensions manually if needed. Also, there is a space for the sill plate between the foundation wall and floor platform, but it is showing a gap. How do I resolve this? I have attached the plan file and any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Marsha Talsky_rebuild_3-24-17.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJohnson Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Make the foam the first main layer for each wall in wall layers define dialogue A little strange structurally, kind of a cantilever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthrift Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yes Eric! Your last image is exactly what I am looking for! I got the insulation to line up but the floor platform is cutting through them. Like the very first image you posted. I will keep digging to see if I can get the program to work with me. @Jere Johnson, yes... it seems odd to me as well, but it is how I was directed to draw it so it's what I'm going to do. Thank you to both of you for your help. I may have to just add in a detail from CAD and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRST8TRKR Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Looks to me like the Sill plate in Solvers post no 4 over the conc. would be correct, don't thin the rigid foam would give much support for the floor framing. Have a great week end, Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
