Hey guys, I'm new here and new to the software.  I've gone through the tutorial book that comes with the program.  I was able to use the auto basement feature just fine.

 

I'm putting together my own plan for the first time.  I have all the exterior and interior walls drawn on the main floor.  When I go to create the basement, I select a reference point and hit the auto basement feature and nothing shows up in the basement.  The tab is created for the basement but there is nothing there.  No walls, nothing.  I feel like I'm overlooking something very simple and silly but for the life of me, I cannot figure it out.  If anyone has any insight, that would be wonderful!

 

Thank you

Are your main floor walls load bearing?

I know which walls will be the load bearing ones but do I need to do something in the program to specify the load bearing walls?
