Bilco Door

[StephanL]

I want to show a "Bilco" door and stair exit from a daylight basement.  How can this be done?  Foundation wall ends just above grade for the door/stair, but 40" above grade for rest of the basement.

Exterior entrance to a basement ...

I did one as just another basement room, with door between.  Pretty sure the 3D Bilco hatch I made for it in Sketchup is up on the 3D Warehouse.

 

If not there, I'll upload, and include the stairs which were of 2x PT lumber.  I toured the finished job Tuesday.

Like Eric says. Here's a project where I created a CMU areaway off the stone foundation (old farmhouse) and defined everything through the Room Specification dbx. Notice most of the settings are changed from the default. Placing the Bilco unit on top is simply a matter of finding/creating a Symbol. Areaway Doors.calibz

Here is one of many at the 3D Warehouse, and it matches Bilco's specs exactly.  I thought I had made one, but it was this.

I believe the exterior Attachments Bonus Library now has these.... but may not be exactly what you need ?
