Doug_N Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi fellow Chief Architect Users. The way that garage floors and stem walls interact has me really confused. When a garage is created on the first floor, and then the foundation is automatically created, the garage floor is set inside of the stem walls. If the garage is created after the foundation is created the garage floor is set on top of the stem walls. Since the normal way for a garage floor to be inside of the stem walls and since all of the basement has been detailed how can I fix the garage stem walls and floor? 4 Load Duncan Court.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_N Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 That would work if I had turned on automatically rebuild foundations. Unfortunately, turning that on now would wipe out the actually built foundation, inside walls, beams etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I had to bite the bullet and rebuilt the foundation and redid the basement. There should be a way to do that manually I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_N Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Which 2 settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Do you mean these two? They don't seem to have any effect on where the stem wall ends with respect to a curb (the second setting) on the location of the top of the stem wall and the bottom of the exterior wall when doing a manual foundation for a garage.

I was referring to the settings I mentioned in the post I referenced (they were mentioned in the graphic as well)... Floor Supplied By Foundation Room Below and Supplies Floor for the Room Above. Those along with the Floor To SWT setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing this out Michael Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief has a bad habit of automagically making a Garage a Monoslab even if the rest of the House is using Stemwalls, so you then need to fix it by turning of those settings Michael pointed out OFF and reconfigure it. 4 hours ago, Alaskan_Son said: ...
