capitaldesigns Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I am working on the plans for a new house with slab foundation. The footings around the garage doors are not generating correctly. They are extending out past the outside edge of the walls by around 6 inches. I want the outside edge of the footing to align with the outside edge of the stud wall. I have marked up problem areas on the plans. Could someone take a look at the attached plan and let me know how get the footings around the garage doors to generate correctly.

solver Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I would set the small rooms created by the walls to not have a floor and draw in the floor and footing manually. Chief isn't very good at foundations under small rooms like this. This will make the corners build OK, but not the ones between the doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Eric is showing will make the foundation build out to the built out walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I suspect the problem that you are running into is using short wall segments to get the foundation offset for the bumped-out wall details. CA does not deal with small wall offsets very well, so one alternate is to use slabs to mimic the solid concrete where required. In perspective, I used a different colour concrete so that the foundation edit could be more clearly seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitaldesigns Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Thanks you for the help. Eric suggestion of changing inside corner wall to no room definition works in elevation and perspective view. Not great looking in foundation plan view, but I can clean that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
