Emailed question:
I’m not understanding the part of how we get the footing depth.

Design a strategy follows:

1. Start calculating your footing depth by thinking about the givens
2. Set ground floor to elevation 0
3. Utilize the section from Matt’s to set the street level to -2’-7”
4. Look at your selected boring report to sketch of the earth under your building
5. Use boring labeled B11, B16, B8, B5, or MW-7D as your test case
6. Set as your Street level +10’ on the boring diagram
   [this is a change what we discussed in class, in class we set it at +25’ but we changed the level in the evening section, you may use either however =10’ will give you a more interesting case study]
7. Diagram different soil types and the weight they can support on your sketch
8. set your footing depth as follows depending on your foundation type:
9. slab on grade, as shallow as possible

• slab on grade, as shallow as possible
  [Depending on your sketch you can make the case that this is not an appropriate foundation type and switch to crawl space or full cellar]
• Crawl space, minimum depth with 3’ minimum crawl space
  [use gravel under your building]
• Full cellar, design your cellar floor depth, you should have a minimum clear space of 8’ between ceiling and top of floor
  [your footing it goes at least 1’-8” below your top of cellar floor (see assignment sketch)]

When I print my drawing as PDF, my furniture drawing has few line weight is heavy than others. I use the same layer, but it still comes with heavier line than others. I attached two images of the issue.

There are several reasons this could be occurring. there are similar colors that might not be clear when you view your file in model space make sure your line is of a color that’s set to a line thickness. There are also overrides for elements that are blocks or groups check that the line is set to print lineweight as layer color.

Hi all. Want you to be prepared for tomorrow so a few key points:

Please be at the location at the link at 2:30pm tomorrow, as our tour will start at 3pm: https://goo.gl/maps/XPLw1rZaXcWgQbSc7 It will be the building with the bright orange fins around all of the windows. If its cold and you’re hanging out somewhere just text me at 917 971-6776 and I’ll tell you when to come to the building.

I’ve attached an assignment to submit to blackboard by Friday evening. Review it before getting to the site so you have ideas of what to ask, but please don’t limit yourself to just what I wrote. You should fill this out some time after class time.

Don’t forget your hardhats!!!!
