There are several threads on floor finishes, but I can't seem to find one that addresses this particular issue. I'm the Revit person at our office and am slightly more than a beginner, so I could use some best practice help. We are working on the boss' house, he wants to put on an enclosed porch addition. He wants to see all the details, specific dimensions, exact floor heights etc. Currently the elevated porch has a typical wood structure and he intends to add 3/4" tongue and groove wood flooring. I know that he wants this included in the drawings.
Adding this to the floor element works everywhere EXCEPT where the floor goes under the walls. I try to model items the way they are built and the wood floor would not be installed before the walls are in place, so I need to be able to show (in sections and details) the wood floor thickness as if it were installed after the wall is in place. So the floor structure and sub floor would be in place, then the wall on top of that, then the wood flooring on top of that. So the wood floor would show as 3/4" up the side of the wall.
Other threads on floor finishes seem to focus on how they look in plan, I need assistance on how people might handle these in sections/details. As usual, AUGI doesn't allow me to attach images, so hopefully this description is adequate. Thanks for your help!
