h2k bugs and workarounds

    Has anyone already started a bug list with workarounds?

    One of the bugs I've encountered with v11.11b35 is that the foundation overlap value gets internally set to an invalid value.  Deleting and re-crating the foundation usually works, but requires re-creating all the foundation components.

    Since the h2k file is XML text, I figured out I can just set the overlap value to 0 in the file, and re-open it.  Open the file in a text editor, and search for the string "overlap".

    I have not had to use that much.  The error is looking at the basement total height.  I know that if there is a pony wall - Hot2000 likes it better if the basement height does not equal exactly the below grade and the pony wall height.  Don't ask me why but it seems to like 0.33 difference, then no error.  Not sure if that can help in this case or not.

    I've even had the error when there is no pony wall, just a full height concrete foundation wall.
