More on continuous insulation walls and external strapping.

Ok, so the reason for the post was to learn about how to detail wall assemblies where external strapping is required and for some reason including instruction for where the strapping goes is a good idea so that there is no mistake about where things go.  If the strapping is vertical, then here are the settings so that the strapping starts at the top of the stem wall.

 

 

For vertical strapping it seems the default is to start at the top of the stem wall.

See the DBX below

 

 

For horizontal strapping the bottom strap must be specified as the same as the floor thickness.

the program automatically starts at the reference floor level (zero absolute) and not the top of the stem wall.
