Good Afternoon,

 

When should I be drawing my garage walls?  Here is what I am doing:

 

1. draw main floor of house.

2. add floor system.

3. create crawl space.

 

When I draw my garage walls, they are aligned with the top of the crawl space.  I add a slab floor and it is also up high, then I start adjusting garage items down and adjusting their height. 

 

It seems like I am doing something wrong...

 

Thanks,

Dave

Your garage walls need to be separate walls. If your garage wall happens to also be on the same line as the house wall, you have to 'break' the wall and have seperate walls.

Add your garage slab and adjust the offset accordingly. Adjust the wall heights as they will need to be taller to accommodate the height difference.

Hope this makes sense.

I normally draw my garage walls with the main floor, and adjust them down to suit.

 

You can't actually be doing anything wrong ... there's no set way to produce what you want ... if you get the model to work correctly, then everything is right. It's just whatever you find easiest.

 

When I draw my garage walls, they are aligned with the top of the crawl space ... 

 

Isn't that where you would expect them to be?

 

I would normally expect the top of the garage foundation and the top of the house foundation to be on the same level.

This is the approach I usually take, ..


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.
