In this step, you will create for the project House 21-260 the ground floor plan of the basement under the name h21260_groundFloor.
The steps to follow are:
- 2.2.1 - Ground floor - Create the Outline
2.2.2 - Design the exterior Walls
2.2.3 - Design the interior Walls
2.2.4 - Place the Doors - 2.2.5 - Place the Windows
2.2.6 - Create the roof Slab
2.2.7 - Create the interior Stair
2.2.8 - Open a hole in the Slab
2.2.9 - Exterior Stair - Railing
Within the folder, C:\\customDwg\house21-260_custom make sure you created a folder called groundFloor. If you have not already done so, you can do it now.
The full path of this folder will be, C:\ACA\customDwg\house21-260_custom\groundFloor.
You will use it to store the drawings you will create for the ground floor in this phase of designing.
You can also download these drawings from the web site: www.autocadforum.eu/index.php/downloads.

2.2.6a- Open a hole in the Ground floor roof slab for the stair
Interference Condition
To operate the stair, you need to open a rectangular hole in the roof slab, long enough for someone going up not to bump his head, as shown in Fig.2.2.6.11.
To open a hole in the roof slab of the basement, you will add an interference condition between the stair and the slab.
With the interference condition, you can Add or Subtract other objects to a slab. The Subtract option removes the mass element from the slab.
Stair that is applied as interference condition in roof slab, can be edited like any other object using grips, or on properties palette. If you edit the stair, and change width, height, headroom height, etc., the roof slab updates accordingly.
When you add an interference condition between the stair and the roof slab, a box is cut around the stair, based on the stair's specified headroom height and side clearances.
The length of the hole is set in the Properties Palette (Fig. 2.2.6.11) of the stair, in the category Advanced > Interference > Headroom height. The Headroom height defines the clear height between beam and slab at the edge of the hole (Fig.2.2.6.11).
- For your convenience hide the walls (cd), (EF), (C1 A), and their openings, to have a better 3d view of the stair and slab (Fig.2.2.6.11).
- Double-click the stair to open the properties palette (Fig.2.2.6.11).
- Click the Design tab, expand Advanced, and expand Interference.
- Specify the height above the threads for the interference condition. At this stair, for Headroom height enter the value 3.00 (as shown in section Fig.2.2.6.12), and for Right clearance enter the value 0.200.
- Click Esc, to remove the selection of the stair.
- Select the slab, on the roof of the basement, to intersect.
- On Ribbon > click Slab tab > on Modify panel select Interference Condition drop-down > and then select Add icon
. - At the prompt: ‘Select Object to Add:’ select the stair and press Enter.
- At the prompt: Enter Shrinkwrap effect: select Subtractive and press ENTER.
- Press the ENTER button again to end the command execution.
The result is as shown in Fig. 2.2.6.13.
Save this drawing under the name h21260_groundFloor_stair in the folder groundFloor, that you have created. Its full path will be:
C:\ACA\customDwg\house21-260_custom\groundFloor\h21260_groundFloor_stair.
You will use this drawing in chapter 5, to create the construct drawings of the basement.
To remove the hole in the basement roof slab:
- Select the slab, in the roof of the basement, from which to remove the interference condition.
- On Ribbon > click Slab tab > on Modify panel select Interference Condition drop-down > and then select Remove icon aca18 icon
. - At the prompt: ‘Select Object to Remove:’ select the stair, and press Enter and Esc.
