builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't understand why I'm having problems with this foundation. Picture and plan attached. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53713740/Lum%20Plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I modified the original post for plan. I was having problems uploading the plan because of the file size. Used drop box and should work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Joey, I fixed it somewhat by selecting the wall shown, flipping it and realigning with the wall above. BTW, I flipped the wall so my snaps would work okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The problem with Joey's solution is the step is now about 12" inside closet. However this might be good because the way you have it set up, the closet slab is 6" lower than foyer slab/.... is that what you wanted? My solution in this video does not have joeys problem, however I minimize the footing between closet and bath from 26" to 12" AND I ALIGNED THE FOOTING WITH EDGE. The two things I did to make it work was to align the edge of slab with footing..... I think this i acceptable, you decide, and I also move a wall forward and then back and did a rain dance around my computer and it was fixed. One of those situation where you have to kick the tires, say a couple of curse words and pray to the CA gods and all will be well. http://youtu.be/5c-L3daok0A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you guy's I meant for the closet to be 6" higher like the entry and that fixed everything. That was all it took. Stupid me! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Another question; Is there a quick way to make the entry way foundation depth match the rest of the footings? I always struggle with the altering slab foundations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You also need to select the raised footings and deepen them to match the un-raised footings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 You also need to select the raised footings and deepen them to match the un-raised footings. Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the 6" curb I have going around the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Nope, look at the bottom of your footings only at the raised portion, they need to be 6" deeper to align with the rest of the footings, Its all about the depth into grade not the depth of the footings.

builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yes, that was my question a couple of post ago. How do I make that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Select each raised footing and add 6" to the depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I tried what P said too Joey but I think cos its a monoslab , it wont let you select just the raised portion by the look, like you can with a normal stemwall footing ,though I'm no expert on Mono Slabs.

I think most people aren't looking at the plan. I believe what a lot of people are saying won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 It shows in my picture that I posted that the foundation in the raised area seems to be part of the foundation all the way across the front. You can see where I selected it in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Joey, I don't think most people realize that which is why I said what I did in my last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 NO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I meant what I said, select the footing and change the depth of the footing only, to Add 6", you still want the slab just like all the other levels, 4" thick. There really is no stem wallbut if you consider it a stem wall it would also be 4"thick but 12" wide or whatever the footing width is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I changed all them but the one in the front will not corporate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Break the foundation at the corner so you can change independently, you should be able to adjust it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtright3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Got it! But I had to use the wall break tool and intersection tool to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Find , I didn't think of that after find the same issue as you originally , didn't think about the Monoslab actually having a wall as Perry mentioned. M.

M. You said something that is very important to understand. The conc footings are actually walls. They behave as most walls behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
