durtpoor 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dennis_Gavin 86 Posted May 18, 2015 is your framing on? I am thinking this is the space for the floor joists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwideziner 35 Posted May 18, 2015 Actually I know the answer it is caused by the roof of the house 3 doors down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kbird1 814 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 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
