10eighty Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So I have this house I'm working on that should have been a straight forward 2 story with daylight basement. But for some reason, they want to put a crawl space under the "basement" floor. It's on a slope, and I personally would have just built it into the foundation. So here is the situation.... I changed the foundation floor plan to floor 1, the 1st floor to floor 2, and the bonus room over the garage to floor 3. Then I built a new basement under floor 1 with standard foundation heights. Then changed floor 1 walls to 8" concrete walls for the retained underground walls. The weird part is that the garage is technically floor 2 and I have nothing on floor 1 for the garage, and the foundation for the garage is on the foundation level. So I changed the heights the best I could to bring the foundation up, but I'm not getting cutouts for the garage doors. Is there a better way to address this situation? oh, and I attached the x9 plan file, its pretty haggard but it should open lol Thanks in advance, Randy Foundation.pdf Floor 1.pdf Floor 2.pdf Floor 3.pdf Eagle View Terrace.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneK Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 That screen shot was form X9, but this is how to change size in X11 and it is same for X9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10eighty Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Yes, technically the front of floor 1 is underground, and floor 2 (the main level) has the garage. But it seems by doing it this way nothing seems to connect floor 0 and floor 2 as far as the garage goes. I just raised the floor 0 elevation to meet the floor 2 garage. Sorry, I'm having a difficult time trying to explain my concern. Is this how you would handle this circumstance? In other words, Floor 0 to carry the garage foundation Floor 1 for the daylight part of the house no garage, and then Floor 2 for the garage. Sorry in advance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10eighty Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hey Eric, You always save the day ;-) So your approach would be to manually draw in foundation walls for the level 2 garage on level 1, and then remove the garage foundation from level 0?

AND I would show the garage foundation on the foundation level. You won't get the door cutouts but you can show them with CAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 there are two schools for approach 1. combine foundation and basement on floor 0 this has been the "traditional" method from CA since the beginning 2. others dedicate floor 0 to the foundation and floor1 to the basement and floor 2 to the main level either approach is appropriate I'm guessing - as this is NOT my forte - by maybe the garage should be on floor 0 so it connects to the foundation on floor 0, while the basement on floor 1 also connects to the foundation then floor 2 sits on the basement ? place terrain on floor 1 then adjust as needed ?
