Basement Walls

The basement wall component is intended for use with walls that are either partially or fully below grade. Ignore portions of basement walls more than 10 ft below grade. The software automatically treats above-grade portions of basement wall components like above-grade exterior walls.

Select the Basement button to add a basement wall component to the description of your design on the Envelope screen. Enter each unique basement wall assembly as a separate component. You can enter multiple basement wall elements sharing the same construction as one component with the appropriate total area.
