MulePacker Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 Stem wall needs to be 96 from footing to top on left side. Ledger on the right. 11 1/8" TGI FF In basement needs to be 84 from ceiling. Every time I input the numbers it auto changes something else...? Suggestions please. Thank you, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 (edited) the chase around the elevations problem. I've had it many times ...from what I remember Possible Issue 1: I find that if your entire basement is not at the same elevation and ceiling heights, then any rooms that you try and make different, must have a corresponding room on the main floor with the main floor walls over top of the basement walls Issue 2: Set the absolute elevations, then set the stem wall. or post a video of the issue, and/or the plan Edited December 24, 2025 by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 It is generally called a TJI not a TGI. They are usually 11 7/8 not 11 1/8. It is possible that you are using an unusual product but you should confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The print was so small I thought it was 11 1/8 but it is 11 7/8. Thanks for pointing that out! apologies for the confusion. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
