Missing Piers

OK, I checked out the video dshall made. I think it left me with more questions than answers, but it was good to see it built. I will concede that terrains don't appear to be difficult and it did indeed fix the issue. I am still, however, baffled that the tutorial makes no mention of terrains.

Thanks for taking the time to make that. I will continue to play with this and will try to post a final product (if I get that far!)

Thats because a terrain is not needed.

Zoom in on one of the corners on the right side of the structure, select Build> Framing> Post and click to place a post with a footing close to the intersection of the two walls

The initial post should have been place inside the building NOT outside, If placed inside, it would see a floor and produce a footing.

Gerry,

Exactly.
And with X5 thats why you can place a post and footing on the monoslab on level 0 - because the mono slab is really a room made up of footing walls and a floor platform.

In X3, the monoslab built on level 0 was a simple slab with square footing - no rooms.
