winterdd Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Hey Guys, Is there a tutorial on building a stem wall foundation and also having a mono slab on other parts of the home? I haven't fully mastered this over the years yet. I check the spaces of the home I need raised to "walls with footings" and the right wing of the house as "mono slab" because all those spaces are on grade. It never fails that this creates a huge issues. The garage can be marked as mono but it wants to build a stem wall. So then I have to go label it as bonus room and it builds as mono. I just cannot wrap my head around these type of fdns. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. See below as an example.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra_dweller Posted yesterday at 07:23 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:23 PM (edited) I was able to get it pretty close to what I think you're after by tuning off auto foundation after it generates the foundation initially. Then go in and change the wall settings and floor/stemwall elevations until you get it how you want. Another key is making sure the slab pour #'s are different between the foundation section's rooms & walls. For example I have the walls & room in the stemwall section of the foundation as slab pour #1, and the mono garage room & walls set to slab pour #2. Pictures below with my settings, hope this helps.
