MississippiMims Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Raised slabs are becoming more popular in my area. We've built several houses this way recently by building a 16"-24" CMU wall on a footing, backfilling with compacted dirt, and pouring a slab on top. Any suggestions on how to model this?

DavidJPotter Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Take a look at Default Settings - Foundation - Monolithic Slab and then also in Default Settings - Floors and Rooms - First Floor - Structure Tab - Foundation Settings. This software follows it's Default Settings and other settings so It is up to you to learn them and guide the software to a desired result.

MississippiMims Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thanks David. The answer to this problem for others having trouble locating it is under the foundation defaults. Select "Walls with footings" and under where you specify the thickness of the slab, check the box that says "slab at top of stem wall". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
