IvanCyr Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 See attached image. The exterior wall on floor 1 is set correctly, see red arrow. The red box showcases my issue. This should be ONLY stem wall (and perhaps a rim joist or larger leger board)...NOT exterior layers from floor 1. There is NO pony wall defined...pretty much Chief default setup. This has come up a few times in the past and I am wondering about its "control" in Chief. It seems to be almost random...although this one showcased itself when the foundation walls were changed from having the floor joists on hangers mounted into the stem wall to being set onto the sill plate. Thoughts from the gurus?? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Without any other information my best guess is that it may have something to do with the Brick Ledge Depth. Posting the plan would make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The reason is because the exterior of the wall on floor 1 is not aligned vertically with your foundation wall. Chief can often give wildly erratic behaviour when walls are not aligned, that is, sitting perfectly one on top of the other. When walls are not aligned I’ve seen weird behaviour from items not even related to walls get messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanCyr Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Michael, Good guess and I know exactly what you're saying when walls are mis-aligned. This one is perfectly aligned with the floor 1 wall exterior framing layer aligned with sill plate which is aligned with the exterior stem wall. The vertical alignment icon does not show indicating proper alignment as well. Still scratching my head.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_Canada Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 i'm curious what happens if you lower the deck room floor to be at or below the sill plate. in other words, I wonder if this has something to do with the deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Make sure both walls are set to "default" for top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanCyr Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Glen, it indeed was a Brick Ledge Depth issue....settings which I have not knowingly changed...or perhaps it is a default or perhaps how it may have changed by the previous construction method check mark of "Hanging the floor platform on the wall above" I don't know, but I set it to zero and it works fine. Thanks for the discourse. Yet another tool for the tool box. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
