Separate foundation heights for two structures

[edalemo]

I have a shed on my property with a different foundation height from the house.  How do I change the foundation height for the shed?

I find it easier to create the shed in a separate plan

then save it as a 3D symbol and place in the library

 

then add the symbol to the "master" plan and place as needed

Room Specification - structure - absolute elevations - stem wall top. Get there by clicking in the room - open object.

Or what Lew says.

just change the floor height and ceiling heights in the room def DBX as Kelly suggested

The correct answer.

[lbuttery]

then when you have to do the roof and then have sloping funky terrain all around the extra buildings

it may become easier to do them in separate plans

That's a workaround Lew. No need for workarounds if you use the program correctly. Simply open the structures room DBX like other have said and set the heights.

If forced to create a separate plan for each building then symbols work great. For the example above, and if there's no real need for a separate plan file, a symbol would be counter productive.

[lbuttery]

I agree for this situation a separate plan may not be needed

 

but I have learned to just do it since most plans start having

other elements come into play like roofs and terrain etc

 

so its a choice I make - never meant that separate plans are required
