Hi Tom Issan
The foundations in Punch are not visible in 3D. They are just a complement for the floorplan and of course, they will appear in the Estimator's Bill of Materials
If you need an inclined element, just for 3D visualization, you can use a roof piece and texture it as necessary. Or you can try a staircase, with steps (H & D) of 0.5" or less Notice that these "foundations" will appear as roofs or staircases in the BOM
Notice that usually, in real life, foundations are not parallel to the lot profile. They are horizontal segments with different elevations

thanks Patricia for your reply. I did try the roof piece as you suggested although the thickness can't be adjusted to the actual height of the grade beam. I will try the staircase next...

Hi Tom,
You are correct, the roof thickness (height of your beam) cannot be adjusted Perhaps is a good idea a 3D beam (workshop object)
Let us know if you need additional help

Hi there,
Floor --> use the floor tool (floor tab) Roof --> use the roofs tools (Roof tab) Columns --> Furnishing --> 3D library --> Exterior --> Accessories --> you'll find several columns --> if you prefer, you can add the columns for the structure (see Framing tab) --> these columns will appear only in framing view Is highly recommended that you read the manual and help file to get familiar with the different capabilities, tools, screens, menus, etc
