winterdd Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I like to use sills on my stem wall tops. I am helping a fellow CA user (their plan file) in the area and we all use settings differently. When I build the fdn the caps are not sitting on the stem wall tops. I do not have the option to vertical and horizontal settings. Any advice what this may be?

CarrieS Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 We don't have Wall Cap Offsets for full height walls (Walls that are not ponywalls/railings) in X17, but we do in X18. I'm not sure why the wall cap is sitting so high though... I wouldn't expect it there. Maybe post the plan so we could poke at it? Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitMan71 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Post the plan. Something you arent expecting is causing the behavior.... I would test it outside the existing model in the same drawing. Draw a small 4 sided room somewhere away from the model with the same wall types as the plan. Add the foundation as it is on the main house and add the cap like you would normally and see if the behavior changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tundra_dweller Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 @winterdd Your plan link is private, it needs to be set to allow anyone with the link to access it. My first thought was that you have a ponywall set up with an airgap for the upper wall, but I seem to remember that wall caps with pony walls usually put the wall cap on top of the lower wall anyway. Interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 You could try exterior room molding polyline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I create these all the time with a rowlock feature and it is just not cooperating this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
