Problems When Hanging First Floor Inside Foundation Walls

Recommended Posts

I have just started laying out a new house and want to hang the first floor framing inside the foundation walls. I was able to to make that happen but as soon as I started adding interior walls the floor elevations get all messed up.  I have attached a zip file with the plan and a cross sectional view to show you what is going on. What I am trying to achieve:

 

The settings are:

stem wall: 145.5" including sill plate
First floor Truss 16" + 3/4" subfloor to be hung inside the foundation wall. When I look at the doll house framing it looks correct.

 

However, when I take a cross-section view that is not what I have. I have the following:

stem wall: 13' 6.25"
and the software raises the floor up 16"

How do I correct this?

 

Have reached out to Tech Support, but so far they have not been able to provide a solution.  Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response.  You notice in your picture how the floor is still sitting up 16" in the basement.  What seemed to be causing the problem was that the stick framed wall was not set to have the floor hanging inside.  Once I went and changed all foundation walls to have the floor framing hanging inside that issue went away.  So, it is not exactly how I want the foundation built, but easy enough to adjust in the field.  If anyone knows of a work around so that the floor framing would actually bare on the top plate of the stick framed foundation walls I am all ears.

Open the foundation walls and on the structure tab, check the box "Default Wall Bottom Height". At some point you dragged this wall up or down...

You can also achieve the same thing by going to "Edit>Reset to Defaults>Wall Bottom (choose the foundation level)
