PaulJManoogian Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi! I need to be able to create a raised floor in a garage. The garage is being turned into a Mother-In-Law suite/Apartment. Basically, footings and beams supporting joists for a floor, but still showing the garage floor. This is to raise the floor up to the first-floor door height. I need to show the crawl space that will be created between the garage floor slab and the new raised floor. I can't figure out how this is done. I've tried to do it with the deck tools, but can't make it show up once I make the railings invisible. I've also tried doing it with the framing tools, but can't figure out how to make that work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJManoogian Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks for the tip, Eric. I updated my signature and made sure it was turned on. Hopefully that improves things. The reason I posted here is because I couldn't find a direct answer on here (maybe I missed it?) or on other platforms such as YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJManoogian Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'm hoping to just model the garage area, without doing any of the other house (As it's not needed). I will do what you just suggested; build a second floor and drop the garage ceiling down. At this point, I'm just trying to get this done easily. I can draw it on paper faster, but I lose all of the other functionality of having a model I can move around and update quickly. Thank you for the suggestion!

PaulJManoogian Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi, I'm still struggling to make this work. Is there somewhere I can see a visual step-by-step of how to complete this task? Thank you! -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJManoogian Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 I think I got it. Thank you! It was a little wonky at first, but I think I figured out the height issues so that I have something that looks like your example. Thanks so much for your help!
