Stacked Walls or Walls per Level

Hello All,

 

My question is - do you create a stacked wall with a foundation wall, & wood wall as a stacked wall type & then use the footing as a seperate component?  As a novice, I started with the main floor view with walls at main floor level.  Then I created a foundation view for the foundation walls at basement level.  Then I created a footing view for the footings at footings level.  Basically I have three components.

Is it best to make a stacked wall (foundation wall + main floor wall) or (footing + foundation wall)?  Or do I make three (footing+foundation wall+main floor wall)?

 

Thanks in advance...

Thank you for you post.  In this case, I have included two helpful videos below with details on stacked wall creation and control.  Please review and let us know if the community if his helped and if there is anything we can assist with.  Thank you.

Michael,

 

Thank you for the links, they helped & are bookmarked....

 

What I would like to know is how other users create foundations & main floor plans.  What my concern is, for example, I have a foundation wall at a said level which is under the main floor level, but what if the main level "footprint" changes?  Do I have to move the walls on the foundation level & on the main level or is there a way to move one level walls & the other level moves with it also?

 

That is where I need some insight....

 

Thanks in advance...

I create a level that is called 'Top of Footing' and set that where it would generally belong in relationship to the basement or first floor (if there is no basement). Then I will create the basement or first floor level (which would be where the finished floor or basement would be). The foundation walls would be from the top of footing level up to the basement or first floor level. I would then have the tops of those foundation walls offset below the first floor or basement at the appropriate distance as necessary to accommodate the floor assembly. Normally about a foot or so depending on the floor structure and finish.

 

This way, if you ever need to adjust the depth of the footing or the level of the basement or first floor, the bottom of the foundation / top of footing moves appropriately.

 

I then create my foundation plan from the 'Top of Footing' level (I just rename the view to 'Foundation Plan'). A little adjustment in the cut plane, and a few graphic overrides for that particular view and then I am all sdet for annotations and dimensions.

 

I hope this helps.
