Ameteur Question.....

[winterdd]

I will be honest, I never manipulate mono footer shapes in CA as I have my own CAD details I use. On this job I will need need to change them to look like the attachment below. What do I change in the settings to make the chamfer in the cross section look like the footer detail below? Also, On CMU walls, will auto building create the sill plates for the trusses to sit on?

I got the footer situated but will leave this up for the sill plate question.

You won't get a plate on top of the masonry wall.

 

You could create a pony wall...with the top section a frame wall 1.5" tall. The thing is...this little section is below the ceiling...so, you may have to adjust the ceiling definition with an "air space" to push it down to hide this wall section. 

 

Or...just use a cad box and add the plate...but, it won't show up in 3D if that is important. You could always manually place a plate on top of the CMU wall if it's important to show in 3D.

Yeah, I ended up doing exactly that. Polyline solids. This way I can cut a cross section and it will show the sill and I will add the anchor bolt from the library. Thanks!
