Version 21

I have a house with a 30" high crawl space under the whole house, except for the garage. There are steps up from the garage to the house. Is it best to draw the crawl space as a basement, and then add a seperate floor area for the garage? When I draw the first floor walls, can a wall extend into the garage area, where the garage floor is lower than the crawl space?

Also, part of the first floor extends about two feet beyond the crawl space on one section of a wall. Is that going to be an issue? Having a wall floating above the ground.

The best option is creating a different floor for each elevation.

I'd suggest to create two walls and stack them.

Depends of the real situation. Is this a real floating wall?

If you are interested, my eBook for Punch V21 (Windows Version) includes tutorials about how to set a house with different levels, how to create a crawl space, etc.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I've been reading your book. There is a lot to read.

I think I got this part setup correctly. It looks right now. I didn't stack the walls, but set the elevation and made the three walls taller. For the cantelevered part of the house, I made the first floor walls w/o a floor, and added the floor after.

Thank you for reading my eBook! Cool

In my eBook, I'd recommend the following tutorials:
- How to create different levels in the same floor? => Page 280
- How to Create a crawl space -> Page 286

Hope this helps.
