DzinEye Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I created a recessed stem wall foundation using pony walls, and a wall cap to represent the sill for the dropped floor joists as shown in the first pictures. I added this wall to my library, but when I use it, I get what's shown in the 2nd picture. Is it possible to have it come out the same as the way I saved it without having to tweak it ?

The top part of your wall should be short, just the depth of the floor joists like in your first pic. I assume that one is the one you used to send to the library? Why didn't it come out the same when you used it in the 2nd pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works even better than I imagined, apparently automatically adjusting the top part for the floor thickness. I hadn't formed a room above the foundation when I copied it which is why it wasn't working right. By the way, before figuring it out, I was going to share my wall here, but after 10 minutes of searching for how to do that, no luck. I believe I've seen people share library items here before... how's it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that, but I always thought that would export the WHOLE library. Should say 'Export Library Item'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one you see in the views above are not a true sill, but a wall cap, so the sill directly below the wall (on top of the stemwall) automatically builds with the other framing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
