Changing stem wall to slab

[ChiefBen2024]

Hi newbie here. I basically created the floor plan and happy with the layout.  I realized I had selected the stem wall and wanted to change to monolithic slab but can’t seem to do it. I’d like to get rid of the floor joist as well when rebuilding the foundation.

 

i also wanted to add floor joist to garage to do a garage conversion and raise it up to the attached house. Every time I try to build foundation it will rebuild the house and the garage.  How do I rebuild the foundation on attach house when changing stem to slab without changing the garage,s foundation?

 

can I also populate the slab with floor joist automatically?

 

thanks,

You put a lot in there for a software newbie. 

 

Start by fixing your foundation. Turn the auto foundation feature on and change your default foundation to slab. 

 

Once you that sorted out, turn auto foundation off, and now you can go to the garage room and add the framing layers to the top of the slab, along with the sub-floor and finished floor layer to get what you want in there.

Thanks Joey. It’s kinda fun. I remember doing this stuff on a light table. 
 

I tried deleting the foundation and setting the setting to a slab then rebuilding it. The house is attached to a garage. What happens is that the garage now looks like a footing.  I want to rebuild a section basically the one under the house.

 

normally when I start, I build the house and garage.  I then separate the walls. Select one as garage and the other as living space.

 

i already added a one bedroom and entire layout for the garage conversion. How do I go back and be able to select the garage side and lower it to 6 inches.   I suppose I can add a slab but would prefer to divide it and change the setting for each.

 

What happens now is when I try to make changes the garage is not selectable anymore.  When creating a room I’m able use a break and able to now select a portion and be able to select that specific portion to update settings.
