CAD Files/Foundation

I finally received the CAD files for the project, which will help me out a great deal. Though I do not have it for the joists, just ensuring my foundation is in the correct place was nice. I had to move a few things around but finally have it in place.

I plan to finish the Foundation of the project by Tuesday, and the rest of the structural by Friday. If I can finish this up, I should be able to fly through the Architectural.

My main problem, is that the structure of the PEMB means there are no other real load bearing walls. I have a few columns in the interior to mess with, but a lack of structural walls means complications in establishing a continuous footing. I'll have to research how to go about that today.

UPDATE:

I was finally able to import the CAD files successfully. It was a good thing too as my footings were off a few inches. Those will help a ton in throwing together the architectural plans and MEP. For now, they act as a great guide.

I finished the sloped slab for the stairs and began work on the footing turn down edge. It is incredibly tricky with the given dimensions for the corner. I was able to edit together a profile for the exterior walls in between column placement. The varying dimensions per column is proving the most difficult thing to adapt, as I must create a Mass-in-Place for those instances.

I should have turn down slab completed by at least tomorrow, leaving the footings as my next big challenge.
