JKEdmo Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I have a pretty complex basement foundation wall with existing masonry below and stud framing above. In addition, there's new interior full height furring. A lot going on: I show the upper wall in plan, but I wanted to also clarify in plan what's going on below. Then, it occurred to me I can just break the wall for a short length and switch that pony wall section to "Display in Plan View" to show the lower wall. A couple of CAD break lines and I'll wrap up by adding a plan note to clarify... Nothing earth shattering, but I thought pretty nifty.

ACADuser Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Clever solution. I suppose you could capture that with CAD Detail from View & make cad block. Then close the wall again. That way it would not show up on Electrical & HVAC plan views. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then once the foundation is poured and your rough carpenter starts, he can work from another "finished basement" plan. On that plan page show only the upper wall type, since that's all he cares about. No need for anything else, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is EXACTLY why I do my walkout basements on level 1, so we can isolate stem walls from custom pony walls in a stepped and furred foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
