Chopsaw Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 What you are looking for is a Mono Slab that will be defined by the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 and / or "Foundation Defaults" where you can specify the chamfer measurements of the footing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dschulz Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Two more questions. How do i change to two different size of thickened edge slabs, eg 18x24 for house and 12x24 for garage? Also I want my garage 7" lower how do I lower the stemwall in the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschulz Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 What I'm trying to accomplish is make the house in red with a 18x24 thickened edge slab and garage with 12x24 thickened edge slab. Garage is 7" lower than house and does not require a thickened edge for garage along the house wall. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is only one default for monoslab thickness and footing sizes so you will need to reset the default and only rebuild the area that is using the new default. Not exactly sure what needs to be lowered 7" the garage floor or the perimeter stem wall ? It may be helpful to post your flan file or a simplified version of it with the same specifications. Also what version you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51Mikeford Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 That chamfer trick didn't work for me at all. I just did a room polyline moulding and drew the moulding to attach to it. Had to mess with the moulding settings a bit but visually it's perfect. As far as materials quantity, since it overlaps the floor slab I figure the quantity will be about right. The only thing missing is the quantity of re-bar, but it's also not tracking the WWM in the floor, so when I export the materials .csv, I just add those two line items in Excel. I figure nobody orders 117'3-1/2" of rebar anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
