slab with brick

[ChiefUserBigRob]

this is similar to a post i made yesterday. i cannot get this to work, maybe my screen shots will show where i'm going wrong. the footing detail is what the builder ok'd. what am i doing wrong? the bricks come in with one tier and no brick ledge is made.

You are trying to use the wrong wall to get the stepdown.

You need to use the wall above the slab - not the slab footing itself - even for the brick wall and even though it is below the top of slab.

The footing can be a plain concrete stem wall - no need for more than the single concrete layer.

You also need to use a pony wall to get the siding wall sitting on the brick wall.

Have a look at the section and the wall in the pic below.

Have a look at the wall definitions, foundation defaults, etc

I only did this quickly on the 1 selected wall to get you going.

This is all built automatically and then Auto Detailed.
