new2HDproSteve Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I am using HD pro 2018 and need to create elevation views of a house on a down sloped terrain. The foundation along the sides of the house slopes down (i.e. a grade beam) while the top of the cripple wall obviously has to be level. How do I do this ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Grade beams are typically stepped down a slope. Is yours like this? See the Knowledge Base linked above for how to articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2HDproSteve Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Eric, thanks for your reply. I have changed my signature as requested and have spent hours looking at/searching the sources offered without success. The foundation along the side of the house slopes downhill (a grade beam) following the slope of the terrain (-18 degrees). The sill plate is continuously roughly 16" above grade. [i.e. not stepped]. The floor above it is of course level so the cripple wall that supports it grows in height as it progress toward the back of the house from a few inches to about 9'. How do I represent this in HD Pro 2018? Any help would be appreciated. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Select a wall in elevation. Grab a corner handle and drag. Hold Control or the Mac equivalent to override snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
