Jamie_KMG-365 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I designed an enclosed patio all along the south side of my Casita and drew it originally as a slab floor thinking that I'd put radiant floor heating in it, but now want to make it part of the foundation of the rest of the house. I can change/remove the foundation on the rest of the house, but I can't find any options to change the 10'x35' slab floor to a foundation to match the rest of the house (either in the manual or the "open object" dialog). I'm trying to keep it all on one level, and I really don't want to have to redraw the whole manual roof lines, parapets, railings, etc. Thanks!

solver Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Did you manually draw a slab, or did you change the floor settings in the room dialog? And what type of room is the patio? Post a screen capture of the Structure panel for that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_KMG-365 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ah, shoot. I just realized that they are two separate sections "floor" and "slab", and I guess I drew the covered porch as a slab and built the walls, roof, etc. on top of that slab. Am I hosed? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just delete the slab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_KMG-365 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 That worked, thanks! I was fearing it would delete the room as well. However, it still shows as having a concrete floor, for some reason I've tried messing with the defaults, but can't get this porch/covered patio to have the same floor as the rest of the ground floor rooms. It still has a 4" concrete floor that I can't seem to get rid of. Is it because it is not being included in "habitable space"? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably need to check use defaults for the floor structure and rebuild the foundation if auto rebuild is not on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You haven't made it really clear how you want the patio to be built. If you want it to be like the rest of the house, then it will have a framed wood floor structure of 12.6" height. Most patios/porches are built on a slab, which is the way your patio is currently built. So which is it? I am guessing that you want a finished floor on top of the concrete, and stem walls below the slab, that match the stem walls of the rest of the house?

Jamie_KMG-365 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks, solver (and Jo_Ann). Don't know what I did wrong the first time (I'm guessing it had something to do with rebuilding the foundation or not having auto on), but I went into the defaults rebuilt the whole foundation to the defaults, and now it's great!
