Foundation walls extending beyond reference line

[MikeC]

Hi all,

My foundation walls are extending beyond the reference lines all around the house. I've used Intersect with no effect. See images. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Mike

Are walls & foundations on the same layer?

If so put wals on different layer with a different intersection group number.

 That little bit hanging out is usually from the foundation walls being slightly higher and conflicting

with the framed wall over.  check the foundation wall height and drop it slightly.

They are on difference layers.  But, I kind of want them to intersect: the exterior cladding should extend below the top of the foundation, while the framing sits on top of the foundation and sill plate.

Unfortunatly this is a limitation of Archicad -  try lowering them all an inch to verify this is the problem 

I have never found a way around this yet................................................

They can't intersect in real life, right?  Two objects in the same space at the same time is more Doctor Who... 🙂

What I think you mean and want is for the cladding to extend below the wall plate and cover part of the foundation wall.  That is exactly what complex profiled walls are designed to do... provide you with that cladding extension, but with nothing occupying the same physical space (which is what typically gives the result you show... as @RandyC pointed out.). If you have not explored complex profiles yet, they will open new worlds for you.  All without a Tardis. 🙂

  A solution might be to buid a small (bottom plate) profile with a beam and place

it at the correct height -  (This could include flashing, sill plate gasket etc. )

  I dont think there is a reaction between the beam- wall  heights 

like there is with the wall-wall heights.

Taking from @Karl Ottenstein & @RandyCthoughrs,
You can create foundation and sill plate as one complex profiled beam.

It shouldn't intersect with the brick wall or the Cladding.

[RandyC]

  Unfortunately  in real life the flashing or other components are lower than the bottom plate

I have tried it adding to the foundation wall but the more complicated the profile the slower the computer gets.

this is why a simpler beam profile might work better.   If we could assign building materials to profiles then

we could show the hidden items by increasing the strength of the profile.
