Basement dig-downs & underpinning

[DeLayDesign]

Hey experts.  Here in Chicagoland we do a lot of dig downs to create a better head height for basements that were built short.  I have my work arounds to show this properly, but I've always wondered if there is a better way.

So - how would you tell chief to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Set up your basement normally, then remove the floor structure.

Add a manual slab for the new floor.

Add a molding polyline for the footing overpour.

Cut a section and autodetail and/or add CAD as necessary.

To whomever, a down-vote is worthless feedback. Tell us why, and provide your solution.

Anonymous downvotes suck. I offset it (might need you to reciprocate in a minute lol).

 

I got three reddies the other day for posting a WORKING solution. Granted, it turned out to not be the best method but this was AFTER I went back and added the better solution.

 

This place is a circus sometimes. Now somebody hit me!!

Btw, I'm not suggesting there's a better way for this problem, I think your solution is fine and have nothing better to offer.

@rlackore - yep, pretty much my solution too.  I wasn't sure if there was a way to tell Chief to push the floor below the footing; would be great to incorporate this into a future build @ChiefArchitect
