quesera Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am having trouble with my wall heights and am hoping someone can provide me some direction. In the attached plan there is a dining area off the great room. It will have a shed roof over it and the adjacent loggia. But before I can get to any of that, I see that the walls that I have drawn are suddenly of different heights in the dining area. It also generates some automatic walls upstairs. And now that I examine it closer, it looks the the floor in the adjacent garage that I have not yet begun to detail has a lower floor level. I assume I have set some default incorrectly or done something inadvertently to cause all this. Would appreciate if someone can send me in the right direction. Thanks. villa great room 083015.planFetching info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solver Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You can also set the wall above as No Room Def instead of deleting it, then change it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quesera Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Sorry, here is an updated plan that shows where my garage is. When I did what you suggested, it solved the ceiling problem but now suddenly the wall between the dining room and loggia is inside out. Is that because I have another exterior wall on the porch and when I did the 'room no def' it got confused? Also I attach two photos showing what I mean by the garage problem. And then also now that I added garage doors they are offset even more down too. villa great room 083115.planFetching info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 There is a button on the Edit Toolbar to reverse a wall. The software often does this. Garage floors are normally lower than the house floor for safety. You can change it in the Room Specification dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 check your Build Floor>foundation>Garage Options....setting I think it is 3 1/2 " by default typically by Code the garage Floor is lower but it may depend on the era of the Building or where you are....

quesera Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks, I see that. I really don't want a foundation for this version as I am using this one to detail the interiors. But when I delete the foundation, it gives me about a foot of stucco below the floor level. If I add a slab of 1" it shows up at the right place. Do you know if there's a way to have no foundation and have the doors appear at grade? I can leave the slab if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Use a monolithic Slab , and raise / lower the Terrain to whatever height you want eg 1" , having a zero floor structure may lead to "weird" issues in HD as that is not "normal" If you delete the foundation ,HD will give you the default floor (12") and Siding /Stucco ALWAYS wraps to the bottom of the Floor Joists ,which is what you are seeing , in these cases (interior Renos) I just use a MonoSlab as mentioned above.
