Cutout on stem wall for garage doors

[JeffDressing]

How do I cut the stem wall in the garage out for the garage doors?

The stem wall goes up over top of the doors.  They are not automatically getting cut down.

 

I tried adding a break in it in 3D view, but that did not work.

Assuming your rooms are set up correctly, try this setting in the garage door rough opening dbx:

Hi Ben,

 

I've tried that and the stem wall does go away under any of the doors.  You can see that it covers the bottom of the door.

Your screen shot shows it 'unchecked'...what happens when you 'check' it?  You may also have to reset the stem wall heights to 'default' if you have manually moved them in elevation.

I probably have something messed up with the foundation in the garage.

Here is a pic of the interior.

I suspect room definitions for the foundation are the culprit...but can only guess when looking at still shots. For best answers from the group, post the .plan file.

I removed the stem wall by setting it to 0 and it fixed the problem.  The door goes to the floor now.

 

How do I lower the garage floor to be level with the driveway on the terrain level?  It is 4" higher than the driveway.  I wanted to add the stem wall around the garage, but the floor does not go down.

Think backwards on this.  Your main floor is at 0", so set your garage floor to a negative number (my example attached I have -8").  Meaning the main floor of your house is 8" above the garage floor.  Your terrain heigh should be about the same thing...  Pick your terrain, and open it up.  The "Surface At Contour 0" setting should be the same negative number as your garage floor depth.  I always add another inch, but that's just me.  

 

See if that helps.
