Hope see other construction methods like automatic concrete column foundation, tie beams, grade beams and roof beam, and also possible to have steel connection frameworks since Chief Architect can build up to 30 floors, we are here in asia are almost concrete and steel construction,, looking forward that Chief Architect adopt other countries construction methodology, thank you for your amazing software!!!!

I really appreciate these training videos. Do you think you could make a video on wall and floor construction/dimensions? I'm trying to make a basement - walls with footings - 10" of crushed stone (I don't know if that is part of the plans), 4" of hard insulation, 10 mil poly, 4" of concrete, no planking on top. I'd like 9' of clearance before any structure above. I"d like a 12" mid section cross beam and a 16" wood truss with 1 1/8" deck sheathing for the sub floor, some mass loaded vinyl and some luxury vinyl flooring. Then I wan 9' between the finished floor and the ceiling. Most of the videos I find say - let's make a 9' wall - no explanation of how the flooring or ceiling construction fit into that.

Here is a webinar replay that goes over full basements with more detail:ua-cam.com/video/OqytU9zYIuw/v-deo.html
You can always customize sizing for your particular plan too.

Let's say that I wanted the crawl space stem to 18" with 18" of stud wall framing on top as in a cripple wall is there an automatic setting for that or what are steps to produce it manually???
BTW the video was very helpful.

Currently trying to figure out how to do a split level with 4' foundation wall and 4' framed wall on top. Same process I would assume if I could just figure out how.
