The problem with unchecking the foundation tab is that it removes the dashed lines too. I want the foundation boundary but not the slab notation. So I drew my own lines with detail but they show up as solid lines in framing editor. Thanks

Hi Mark S Borders,

If you need just a graphic solution, here is a nice work around

Open your plan in Punch--> Go to the Foundation tab--> click the Stiffener Beam Tool (2nd icon of the Foundation tab)--> in the Properties bar, set the width and depth of stiffener beam--> trace the beams following the contour of the exterior walls or the path of your current foundation--> select the stiffener beams--> Edit (main menu)--> Move to plan--> Choose other tab like Landscape, Detail, etc (for this example, I moved the beams to the Landscape tab)--> Go to the Framing Editor--> Visualize your plan--> Unselect the foundation plan--> Select the Floor tab + Landscape tab (because I moved the beams to the Landscape tab)

You will see the walls + foundation with dashed lines (see attached)

Notice that this solution works only as graphic work around because it will modify the Estimator results, for example

Hope this helps

Patricia
