scottyh Posted Thursday at 09:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:42 PM I'm relatively new to Chief and I can't seem to figure this one out. I want to hang a floor truss inside my foundation wall, with a furred wall below for a finished basement space. I also want my exterior walls on the main floor to be brick. I'm having a problem where there is a gap between the brick and the top of the stem wall and the sill plate is visible. When looking in cross-section, it appears as though the subfloor is extending beyond the the stud layer of my wall and sitting under the brick, thus preventing it from sitting all the Way down on the stem wall top. I know that I need to have the brick sit on top of the foundation and nothing I do in the wall definitions fix this problem. I've tried all kinds of things. What might I be missing? I'm running version X16 premier on a Mac. I've also attached a simplified file that demonstrates this problem. BrickGapTest.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyh Posted Friday at 09:53 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 09:53 PM CharlesVolz, thank you for the reply and the suggestion! Though this works to eliminate the gap, It now causes the brick to be "hanging" outside of the foundation wall and I don't think it's correct structurally now, right? Do I not want the brick to be sitting on top of the stem wall on a "brick ledge"? That's what I can't figure out how to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renerabbitt Posted Saturday at 10:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:11 PM You can get to this automatically which I think is closer to what you are looking for? Some clean up with the subfloor needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyh Posted Saturday at 11:09 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 11:09 PM Renerabbitt, this is exactly what I'm trying to achieve but I'm not sure how you accomplished this. What do you mean I can "get to this automatically"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
