Changing Wall Type

[mdag28]

When I change my wall type from Siding-6 to Brick-4 the dimensions of the foundation are increasing, which is not what I want. I want to keep my foundation dimensions unchanged.  Is there a way to do this?

[y-g-m-n]

when you have brick wall it automatically adds HD's idea of a brick ledge at about 5.5" wide x 3" below slab floor.

 

SO in your example it probably aligned the outside of the studs and then added brick ledge beyond that.

If all brick house it adds 11" to overall width and length - no way to adjust other than make adjust thickness in the Wall definition dialog

 

For around where I live HD brick ledge is huge and way oversized for my area and what builders are doing.

 

I think HDpro should allow the brick ledge size be a variable in foundation slab screen thingy.
