cjanderson66 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) I am not sure what I have done to my default settings but I need your help. Some how my sill plate is not showing up when I build my framing and there is a 3/4" space below the floor framing. Secondly, it is also throwing in an 3/4" X 1-1/2" RIM JOIST at the end of the floor sheathing. I have gone through all of my preferences but just can't figure this out and I don't have the time to keep going through this for such a small job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Your topic isn't getting attention because no one can troubleshoot your file from a picture of the problem. If you post the plan I'm sure it will get resolved.

joey_martin Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 The 3/4" gap is because you have the sub-floor layer checked as framing, uncheck that box. As for the sill plate, that setting looks off as well and is found in the foundation ddx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without your plan file. It could be your SILL PLATE default is overriding the setting you are showing above, or a framing setting is throwing something off. I've not seen this situation before.

GeneDavis Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 If you're not going to post the plan, screencap all the fdn settings and show us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright here is a backup plan since I don't even know where plans are stored anymore with the new X17. We used to be able to save them in our own files system but where are they?

Solution robdyck Posted October 13 Solution Share Posted October 13 Hi Chris, the problem is that the foundation wall is currently hardwired for this incorrect sill plate. I don't know why, but Chief is holding on hard to an incorrect setting. To fix this, you need to use the Import Settings tool. Select his and then navigate to and select the template plan file for X17. Once you have the file selected, choose the foundation wall and select the Replace option. Press F12 and the sill plate will build correctly. The foundation walls will also rebuild correctly, BUT Chief will not display them correctly until they are selected, and open-closed! Then, the top of foundation wall will be displayed correctly as well. Oddly enough, the sill plate will be an OSB material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 You will also need to replace the default Floor and Ceiling Platform setting to correct the material used for the sill plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
