StructEng58 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hello All, I am working on a project, which its an addition to a service garage with an apartment above. The problem that I am having is that I need a new wall against an existing in order not to see a hole in the area of the existing wall. As you can see in the image of the second floor plan below where I circled it is where I need to add another wall. As you can see from my front elevation. I have a hole in the area where there is no wall. I have attached a back-up of plan to this email for reference also. I am open to other suggestions on how to fix this issue. Thank you in advance for the help. Chris RB Garage.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief is deleting the existing wall and I don't want that. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try marking the New Wall as a Furred Wall on the Structure Tab Chief also calls them "Marriage Walls" ...or used too... normally used in Duplexes etc as Fire Walls. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00925/using-marriage-walls.html M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. The furred wall method worked for me. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
