Jpilot09 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I have developed a floor plan with 2x6 wood walls and 6" brick exterior. When I build the foundation the dimensions of the CMU blocks are not aligned with the exterior walls on the main level? What am I doing wrong to not have the CMU blocks not match the framing of the main level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaQuartz Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I'm having this same problem. I have general wall settings set to resize around the exterior of the main wall, but when I click on the "align with wall above" tool, I get the foundation aligned with the outer edge of my exterior facade. And my exterior wall only has the studs as the main layer as shown. It's driving me nuts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaQuartz Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I figured it out....Sometimes I feel like 30 years of drafting counts for nothing. You have to make sure the foundation walls are exterior facing. It's that whole, clockwise vs counter-clockwise drafting thing. Once you ensure your foundation walls are all facing the right way, everything lines up just fine.

solver Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 @MamaQuartz I see you are using an older version, but the program has worked like I've shown in the video for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
