DRAWZILLA Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Maybe floor to stem wall top is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Or maybe the footing is not aligned with the exterior face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Or maybe the footing is not aligned with the exterior face. Damn he might be right looking at the plan view I see a footing line..... **note to self check all images posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramount Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't get it, too many places to change foundation settings that can overlap. I attached my plan. I'm using a mono-slab on grade w/footings.Garage areas wants to be different and weird! I do want to add stone veneer siding pony-partial wall to my front exterior of around 3-4 feet high, both garages and entry way frontal areas. I have not figured out how to do that yet cause I'm a noober! Genesis_Front Porch Test_2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramount Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I see I have undesirable footing's under my front and rear porches too I don't know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 likely you haven't set your Foundation Default's up correctly before building the foundation.... i'll have a quick look at the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution glennw Posted July 4, 2015 Solution Share Posted July 4, 2015 Terry, Your garage has a 8" wide stem walls. Your house has 12" wide stem walls. Both footings are 12" wide, "Center Footing on Main Layer". You need to change this to "Align Footing on Outside". Just delete the footings around the Porch if you don't want them. Chief builds the footing between an internal and an external (Porch) room, so if you are doing an auto foundation, rename the Porch to Unspecified or an internal room name. The footing around the Porch would be the correct behaviour as there is usually a step down to a Porch for waterproofing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yep I found the same issues as Glenn , though I see 24" wide stem walls on the house and I think your footing width and height are backwards, unless you need ground beams? at least here a footing would be 24" wide and 12" tall not the other way around. normal here I doctored your Beadboard will I was at it and added the pony walls with the Wall's pony wall checkbox...brick is default BTW. there is something in your plan that is making Chief crawl speed wise , not sure if you have a bad symbol or what? , for a 5mb plan it is very slow....even in 2D Genesis_Front Porch Test_R1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Mick, yes, I did notice the slowness. Terry, The slowness with the plan is caused by the Custom fill you are using in some of your wall definitions. Get rid of the custom fill and change it to a Solid fill and things speed up.

Kbird1 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nice catch Glenn , that is funny actually , I noticed something weird on the 45deg. walls in the front entry but thought either my eyes had had enough for the day or Chief was once again proving it doesn't like angled lines , so I decided I'd had enough for the Day , zooming in I can see all the "squiggles" in the fill. swapping both the MGO walls to a solid yellow fill does fix it as noted....

Paramount Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Thanks guys for the help. My computer is MUCH faster and I thought I needed a faster graphics card. I see when it comes to foundations there are lots of setting's and I am beginning to see the light thanks to your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
