House with garage under 1st Floor

if there is no basement development shown at time of the prints, it's pretty clear, not too confusing. When there is development, I just use annotation sets and show a separate page, one, foundation, two basement development.

I'm sure you get it, I still don't though.

If someone puts the basement on level 0, than where do you put the foundation plan, or do you show it on the basement plan, could be confusing for the builders.

here in the north basement and foundation usually go together on floor 0
but they don't need to

over the years I have seen pros and cons for both methods

I'm wiht Charlie on this one. I've done some simple mono slab plans, and I've had no trouble with foundation plans, ect. But everyone uses chief differently, and there is nothing wrong with that. Heck, you could put the foundation on floor 10 and work from there if you really wanted to.
