Ross-Kzoo Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I plan to have a daylight basement with approximately half of the walls 9' high and half would have 3' concrete with 6' conventionally framed stud wall. I haven't found where I can do that. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross-Kzoo Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 I guess that's my problem, I have Suite 2014 and not the other programs listed at the top of the solution. Does that mean I'm dead in the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 not sure in suite you can edit your foundation as it can't be seen but check out the Walkout Basement thread from last week...<br /><br /><br />https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/63-walk-out-basements/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 You would have to upgrade to Pro, sorry, DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I upgraded from suite to Arch to Pro for this feature and Manual roofs , but JoAnn played with some work arounds in the other thread I pointed to and She Has Arch. not sure if Suite can do what she did . or you want to spend the time...

Jo_Ann Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Referring to the thread Kbird mentioned, has Suite now included pony walls? If not, you can still mimic the 3D look that you want by overlaying some of the exterior walls with thin soffits (with different heights, making them appear to be stepped). The pink walls in the example are soffits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pink walls in the example are soffits. I'll only have one step, going from a 9' concrete wall to a 3' concrete wall with 6' studded wall above that. Where and how is the "soffet" applied?

Kbird1 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Soffit tool is in the Cabinet section but can be used everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Add soffit as shown in the shaded area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 P.S. In a prior post, you said you wanted 3' lower walls of stone, and DJP advised you to use soffits, too. It doesn't look like you've done that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Kzoo Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thank you Jo Ann. I finally know what "soffits" are and how they can be manipulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
