Scotbow Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I am teaching myself to use CA, using X12. Two problems, among many, but two that I can't figure out. 1. Foundation settings. I can't get these to make the foundation and the walls work together. Either I have concrete showing up inside the rooms, or I have air space below the walls. 2. Roof fascia. The fascia on one side is inset from the end of the roof, and on the other end the fascia bows out not making complete contact with the roof assembly. My plan is larger than 14MB, so I am unable to attach. I'll attach a few screen shots. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roof Expand Should the Roof baseline be at 4.8 degrees ? ie angled .....RBL does not = Roof pitch unless roof pitches in 2 directions? Bit hard without the Plan, try zipping it when closed in Chief 1st or it won't zip properly. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_Canada Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 your ceiling should not be at zero and the floor at -1 Are you trying to build slab on grade? or with a basement? or with stem walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotbow Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 The roof is pitched in two directions. I am trying to build a slab on grade with a frost wall that must be 30" deep, by code. I would like the sill plate to sit at the floor level, and have the frost wall extend 6" above the ground. I hope that is clear. I've zipped and attached the plan.

rgardner Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Turn off Monolithic slab foundation on your foundation layer and set your pony wall to the height you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_Canada Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Not sure what this would look like: On 7/9/2021 at 5:51 PM, Scotbow said: I would like the sill plate to sit at the floor level, and have the frost wall extend 6" above the ground. Expand is your floor 6" thick? this is what I do (ignore the second storey). It has frost wall above grade by 12", grade to top of footing (51-12)= 39" (frost wall) I also built a "foundation floor", shows up on floor 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I am not sure if I agree with "DON'TUSE MOLITHICSETTING", blower a couple screen shots of my settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Yeah, once you change the floor level to 0" and not 1", it will read correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotbow Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks for your help. I've tried your settings, but it made no difference, When I look at the 3D view, there is an air gap between the floor and the wall bottom. Also, I tried to view floor/Level '0', in 3D, and it looks the same as floor/level '1'. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Make sure level zero says provides floor for leve above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotbow Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 It does. Also, no slab when I look under the house. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotbow Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Thank you everyone, for your help. I feel pretty stupid. My foundation issue was just not having the layer display turned on. Any suggestions for the fascia? Also, how do you get information to show under your name or post, ie; CA version, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
