BeaconHill Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi. I have a rather large plan(12,000 sq/ft one level) that I have been working on and the client has decided they want to change it from a full 8' foundation to an on slab foundation. I know I have done this in the past, but I seem to be running into problems this time. I deleted the existing foundation and created a new one with a 4" slab and 48" stem walls. I also changed the default settings for the floor to be supplied by the foundation room below. What I have now is it still being shown with the floor joist thickness(16") with the slab below it. If I select an individual room, the "floor to be supplied by the foundation room below" is not selected. I tried selecting multiple rooms to change this, but it will only allow me to do it one room at a time. Just wondering if I missed something or do I have to select each room individually to make it work the way I want it to? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Try to use the "Floor defaults" tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Start by setting your 'floor' defaults to what you'd like. Defaults/floor/Edit - make sure you're on the floor you want to set the default for. Then sometimes you just need to muscle through each floor/room to get it right. I've been stumped many many times by a similar thing. Just this morning all my rooms were -6" instead of 0" for some mysterious reason. Checked defaults and still had to change each room back one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaconHill Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 That is actually how I changed it... with the floor defaults tool. For some reason, the rooms are not following through with the default setting. I think maybe early on in the plan I changed something without going into the default setting and when I started to divide up the rooms, it carried through. I opened up an earlier version with only about 10 different rooms(compared to now with approx 50 rooms) and modified each room individually. Only once I had edited every room individually under the "structure" tab is it showing correctly. I could not do a mass selection and then edit the specs. So I guess I will have to go through one room at a time and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Emery Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's also possible to use the "select same", "load Same" tools to eliminate some repetitive work in the DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaconHill Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ahhh. Forgot about that tool! Would have saved me some time. Will try to remember it in the future. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
