Trueburton Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I am trying to add 2-4" of rigid insulation to the exterior side of the foundation.I have created a new wall type. In the wall types dialog I can get it to dimension to the concrete layer but not build to concrete layer. How do I get it to build to the concrete layer so my framing on the floor above lines up as it should? For some reason its not allowing me to upload my plan file. Will try again if you need it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfcomm2k Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @ Solver, I think he wants the upper walls to frame flush to the concrete, not flush to the insulation layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, that is what I meant by "as it should" The insulation will be backfilled and exposed only in a few areas where it will getting a veneer protective covering.

Ignore the "basement" level shown there I just drew up a quick drawing to reflect my issue. I am only trying to solve the area where the floor framing is bearing on the foam. I want it to be flush to the concrete and there would be a small ledge where the upper level meets the foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfcomm2k Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I may be wrong with this suggestion, but my way of doing this would be to go to the upper floor and re-align the outside of the wall perimeter with the foundation concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfcomm2k Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Open the plan and go to the foundation level (usually level 0). Now press the F9 key on the keyboard to see the reference floor. Next, go up one floor. You should now see the foundation outlined in red. Click on an exterior wall and change the temporary dimension to move that wall in by the thickness of the insulation. Repeat this for all the exterior walls you wish to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
