MC_Florida Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Good evening fellow CA'ers I'm working on a project drawing involving interior stairs. I've been learning and have been using layers and layer sets. My problem. As seen in FoundationPlan1 below. I have the building foundation shown with a slab that surrounds 3 sides of the building. I'm working in the Default layer set. When I turn the slab layer off.... Why is it also turning off the foundation walls even though the foundation layer is checked and shown as displayed? See FoundationPlan2. Are these connected in a default? I'm working in X9. As always any help would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Your problem appears to be that your are working with a Monolithic Slab defined by Slab Footings and as such there aren't any walls to speak of. All you have to control the display of are the Slab and the Footings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Florida Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thank you for applying Michael. Yes you are correct it is a mono slab. I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are saying... Aren't they independent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Florida Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 They are on different layers... There are concrete block walls on the exterior of the foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. a mono slab is defined by walls but it does not actually have any foundation walls to speak of. If you have no walls, then Chief doesn't display walls. Select that room and increase your Stem Wall height to be taller than your slab, and then you will have walls. Otherwise, as I said before, all you have is a Slab and Footings.

Alaskan_Son Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 To get the most accurate answer you should post the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Florida Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 That worked Mike. I raised the stem wall by 1/16 to 4 1/16". I was able to then turn off the slab layer and keep all the foundation. The repercussion is that 16th of an inch now shows up in the 1st floor wall height. FYI the slab elevation was 2" below floor elevation 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 If you really need to show those walls for whatever reason, set it to .001" instead. You'll end up with essentially non-existant walls (even in 3D Vector Views). In fact, unless your dialog Number Style is set to Decimal Inches, it won't show in your dialog either.

MC_Florida Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Removing the slab eliminates confusion with the project to be performed. Again Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
