how to get framing of a foundation door to show

I need to specify a jack, king, header for a foundation door being cut into concrete.

 

so on the door dbx i included a header added more RO checked the trimmer count

 

but I do not see it on the framing overview. it correctly shows the RO wider, just no lumber (yellow is the air gap for a furred wall). and it looks like the "Wall detail" function is not available for foundation walls. Has anyone been able to show a framing detail for a door/window in a foundation wall?

 

i dont see it on a cross section of the door either

 

 

In the end I manually drew in some on the elevation, not ideal

that gets it closer. but  I wanted the concrete above the header to remain

 

 when I create a separate wall for that short distance, it frames all the way to the floor above

 

 

 

Did you try a Pony wall as I suggested?  with 8" CDN FDN on the top

 

I am not sure why you would need a Header in this situation though? wouldn't the (dbl?) Bucks be enough?

yes that is what I would like, although one more stud horizontally on top of the header would be nice to box it in, buit i'll live without that.

 

is your 3'1 wall where the door is, the pony wall or is your whole wall a pony wall?

 

my ortho (framing) is not right because it has framing to the floor above where yours doe snot

1. Use a boxed Header

2. The Door wall is the pony wall with the 8" FDN Wall on top......pulled down to the top of the Header

3. It is unfortunately not 100% automatic and if the concrete is too close to the framing it will turn into

     1 solid piece it seems....

4. Once the framing is correct , on the structure Tab of the framed wall check the retain Framing box.

5. Why is the reinforced conc. above the door not strong enough ?  ie why is a header needed here?

          - which would also mean a larger Trim to cover the Header.

 

* I have only drawn one wall to try this so with Chief's usual quirkyness YMMV :)
