Build Foundation

[NeilofOZ]

Having issues creating footings & stem walls, have followed the instruction video at least a dozen times with no results.

 

General walls are double brick with 50mm space between inner and outer leaves, these will go down to a footing and be 1 or 2 brick courses 

below the finished mono slab. Have attached a pdf which shows a break and offset between the outer wall and stem walls. Michael's House.plan

On Floor 0 your "0.2 m" Stem walls are 150mm outside of your upstairs walls.    

If you align these walls, Chief will automatically extend the exterior down to cover the flooring that the upper image left exposed.  Below I only changed one wall (which turned off "Automatically Rebuild Foundation".

Open up your "Brick-Thin" walls and change "Foundation to Exterior of Layer:" to "4 - Dark Red Brick"

Turn back on "Automatically Rebuild Foundation"

Hopefully this is the look you want.

 

Most walls, like a siding wall, we build the foundation and floor deck to the frame layer and siding or stucco extend down over floor deck (and also the foundation if necessary, like stucco to grade, below a weep screed.)  This is why you are seeing the floor cut your one brick layer, but doesn't cut the other brick layer.
