Crawl Space in Suite 7

[frankcourtney]

I've used Suite 7.0 for a while and just bought 8.0. A Couple of questions:

How can I build a crawl space and show proper elevations. For example, my garage is a slab, the family room (directly behind the garage), is 3' elevated above terrain, and the opposite end of the house 52' away is 4' elevated off the terrain. Any way I can show this?

Thanks, Frank

Build your foundation based upon the existing first floor layout.

Turn on Floor References.

Go to basement floor and draw walls where needed based upon first floor requirements.

Open the dialogue box for each section, and insert ceiling heights, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Frank

Dee, I tried what you suggested, but whatever I did, did not work. Can you give me a little more detail please? Thanks, Frank

Have you tried showing a Terrain around your building showing the slope?

I have not. I've never used the build terrain features before and am not sure how to go about it.
