Mono slab problem

[dshall]

Have at it folks. Prove me wrong please!

Actually, I've tried everything suggested to no avail. The reason I believe this is a bug is because it won't dimension to the line that is generated by the slab edge, but will dimension the the location the slab should be. It's the unfortunate situation with most of the houses I work on. They are buildable in real life, but that always seem to throw a glitch in CA's auto features. So I end up having to many work arounds.

I cannot open file, nothing there.

Aaron, I spent some time on and have not figure it out yet. I will post a video (when it is ready) if you are interested in watching. Bottom line is I believe the effect that you DO NOT WANT is actually the wall behaving as it should. The behavior that you DO WANT, is the wall behaving as it shouldn't. But somehow you stumbled across a possibly workaround for this. It is very interesting and a mystery.

Forget it, I will not post the video until I do a better one.... but this is a good problem, thanks for posting.

Here is the video, 4 minutes long maybe. This is very interesting, I am also posting Aaron's plan that I stripped down to do this video. I am also showing how this behaves after I move a wall that should have nothing to do with view.

Another solution would be to change the Brick's material type to Custom, or Area. In your Plan Materials, the Red5Brick is defined as "Brick". This causes the slab to cover it. I don't know whether this is right, or wrong. May be a bug that you may want to report.....If you pull back the brick wall that is attached to the basement (with the offset wall), you will see the slab go back over the brick.

There are brick Custom Patterns you can choose from. The drawback would be if you want the brick reported as per each in the Materials List. That is the way "Brick" reports......Custom and Area will report the brick in sq. ft.
