Beyond702 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I generated a 8" CMU foundation based on the 1st floor. Now I need to add additional support for the roof. I am try to create multiply 16" CMU "piers" on reinforced concrete slab sections. I would also like the floor beam from above to run across the top of the new "piers". All I can find information on is adding solid wall or posts that sit on a full length rail of concrete. I need individual concrete squares with the 16" CMU sitting directly on top. (I attached an example of what it needs to look like) My second question is... Once I am done with my plan, I want to transfer a cross section of the exterior wall to Layout. Where can I find the images of my wall sections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond702 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 I guess I never really asked a direct question. How can I draw them manually? I watched the training video and to create a slab it shows going to the build Tab on the toolbar and then to select slab... I do not show the slab subcategory in my dropdown.

Beyond702 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm new to using this program. I know what I need to create I just do not understand the steps to accomplish it. I'm using Chief Architect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond702 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 As you can see I do not have the slab option. The only thing showing is a Polyline which I'm currently trying to use to create a concrete box... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond702 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Okay, thank you for trying to help. I think I will need to upgrade to Premier going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
