rockyshepheard Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 My garage designation is not limiting the foundation height to a slab. The height is the same height as the rest of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockyshepheard Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think I fudged it by changing the stem wall height to 24" and the basement in the rest of the house to 9'. I cannot make head or tails of these diagrams. For one, the text entry box has alphabetics A through I...let's say. But the diagram only shows just two or three of these. In order to comprehend what's going for people with no architectural knowledge, why not do diagrams with ALL the alphabetics? Or put text on the diagram if you'r not going to put all the alphabetics. Ie. I may see a horizontal line and I don't know if it is a ceiling or a floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 2' thick slab or 24" stemwall? Either way, set up the garage defaults for the foundation and re-build the foundation. If you have auto foundation on it will make the change for you once you set it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 4" slab, but I assume you mean Stemwall? ..... you have set the Garage stem walls the same as the house at 108" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyshepheard Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don't see a setting for 'stem wall' in the default settings/foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockyshepheard Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks! I finally saw the garage option at the bottom! Does the slab apply to both the stem walls and the garage options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean about the Slab and Stem Walls , the Slab is only the Floor not the Walls...and will only be in the Garage if you have a Framed Floor Structure in the rest of the house... typically I would spec 6" for a garage Slab though.... PS. head height is low under the house , minimum should be 96 1/2 " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
