31Construction Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’m new to chief architect and like what I see so far. I having issues with creating the foundation for a slab on grade with a brick ledge. I currently use AutoCAD but may switch to CA if possible. Can anyone share how they would create this foundation. I attached a foundation plan and some typical details. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Set it all up in the default foundation settings, and the wall above that contains the brick and Chief will handle most of the rest for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Construction Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks Joey, I can't figure out how to make the ledge. For this instance, I would like a 1.5" x 1.5" ledge. I have the X9 trial version but will be purchasing if I can figure out this foundation. Below is a snipit of the settings I have so far but as you can see the ledge is not there.

rwdozier Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hint... In Wall Types, define the wall and set your brick ledge height there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I don't remember if X9 had auto ledge, but X12 does. If you put brick or stone on the exterior wall, Chief will add the ledge per the set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Construction Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks for the reply guys. I'm going to download the x12 Premier and see if I can get it. Thanks for the help so far. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
