You can resize your foundation wall layout by stretching walls or editing dynamic dimensions.

To resize the foundation by stretching:

  1. Select the foundation wall you want to move. All attached walls will stretch along with it when you move it.

  2. Hover your pointer over the center grab handle to display the Move cursor.

  3. Click and drag the wall to resize the wall layout, then release your mouse button.  

Note: If you have footings attached to your walls, the footings will stretch along with the walls.

To resize the foundation by editing its dimensions:

  1. Select one of the foundation walls. If you want to stretch the layout left or right, select a vertical wall. If you want to stretch the layout up or down, select a horizontal wall. Dimensions are displayed on the foundation. Positioning your cursor over one of the dimensions changes your cursor to a pointing finger.

  2. Click the dimension you want to edit. The Edit Dimension dialog appears.

  3. Enter the new value in the Enter Distance edit box, then press Enter or click OK. The walls update automatically.
