georg102 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Currently, to get a foundation beam/footing, I draw a wall and ensure the foundation wall specification check box is checked. In Houston, we are using waffle foundation footings. In addition to the exterior foundation footing/beams, we are building interior foundation footings/beams not necessarily under a wall. I need to manually draw waffle foundation/footings using foundation walls without the walls showing up above grade level messing up my plan.. However, I'm unable to control the height and wall elevation from 0 unless I go to an elevation or 3d and grab the top of the wall to bring it down. Please don't tell me this is a manual process and I have to use polyline solids. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just as I said. It is a Mono Slab with added Slab Footings on the foundation level. Bottom view shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you actually do that in chief? Is there a slab footing tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure how to do exactly what you did in this picture. So far I'm doing this :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yes keep going. It looks like your slab footings are a little narrower than mine but that is just defaults. Get them connected and create your grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should not do that if you are drawing Slab Footings on the foundation level of a Mono Slab ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
