    S symbol at foundation wall intersections

    Does anyone know what these "S" symbols represent and if there is any way to turn off their display? They occur at the intersections of a full basement foundation wall and a crawlspace foundation wall, where the stem walls are at different heights. The S only appears once the stem wall heights are different from each other. see attached.

    It designates a "stepped" foundation wall. Their display is controlled in the Wall Defaults Dialog.

    You can make them invisible or you can correct small jogs in your footings and foundation tops by using the crossectional view tools to adjust wall heights to match.

    Would be nice if so many of these quirks were mentioned in the manual somewhere.

    You can find the information in Help by clicking on the question mark in the toolbar and entering stepped in the search field.
