durtpoor Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 After I draw the walls and hit build foundation, when I view in camera view the foundation is there, but there is a gap between it and the walls. How do I fix this problem? I have just started using CX7 Sorry, not where I can send a picture today. The wall is a standard sip, air space, and brick veneer. The foundation is 4' tall concrete block faced with brick veneer on a 8" x 16" footing. When I look at the plan in orthographic full overview every thing looks good except there is about a 2" gap between the foundation and the wall all the way around. You can see through to the crawl space. I have checked the wall specs., type definition, etc. I found an article in the knowledge base on resolving a gap between floors but it did not help this. I know it is probably something easy I am missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Gavin Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 is your framing on? I am thinking this is the space for the floor joists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwideziner Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Actually I know the answer it is caused by the roof of the house 3 doors down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr0591 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 OK, I'm having a similar issue. Why are there spaces between floors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 yep looks like you have 1/2 a foundation currently ,so it needs a rebuild but your between floors issue is likely this one in the KB here http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00038/ as for the OP's issue it sounds like the sill plate is missing/not displayed perhaps since it is a 2" gap.

eddieritter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 OK, I'm having a similar issue. Why are there spaces between floors? I'm guessing you have your default floor system setup to 4" slab concrete instead of 11 7/8 framing. I'm guessing that's why the space between the first and second floor is only about 4". That's where I would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
