65Shelby Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Morning guys- Im having troubles building foundation walls on slopes. For example a 'walkout basement' should have basically no height, but the backside of that will be at 10ft. How do I create 'stepped' foundation walls on the sides with different heights? And then after that, how do I build an exterior wall on those steps? (I've tried to search videos and KBs and no luck so far). Hope my question is clear, please let me know if not.

JSnell I personally prefer adding a bunch of floor levels with a combination of pony walls for my foundation steps. This would be instead of breaking a wall in elevation. I prefer the more donate control across both sides of the structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
