[Equest-users] Basement slightly below grade

[Keith Swartz via Equest-users]

Phil,

To add a little more detail to splitting the wall in two…

1.     Make a copy of the basement wall.

2.     Raise the bottom of one of those walls and make sure it has an above-grade construction.

3.     Lower the top of the other wall and make sure it has a below-grade construction.

Hi Phil:

If you are not as concerned with the 3-D rendering, I would have half the basement above ground, half below. A simple step. Thermodynamically, it should be fine.

Equest users,
I need to model a building that is built partially into a hillside, so that te basement is partially below grade. One wall of the basement is almost completely adjacent to earth, and the hill slopes pretty evenly down towards the opposite side, which is completely exposed. Any tips on how to reflect this in my model?
Thank for any help here,
-Phil
