View Full Version : Floors Extending to "Outside" Face of Core

When I drew my floors in, I selected "extend floor to core". When I look in section, the floor edge stops at the inside face of my wall core. How can I get the floor to extend out to the outside face of my core (such as a traditional floor framing system where the floor joists sit on top of the wall studs below)?

Seems simple enough, but I can't find any settings to do this.

Sounds like you selected the inside face of the wall cores when you created your floor. Check to make sure your floor is defined by the outer face of wall core.

...also make the sheathing/decking of the floor structural -- not a substrate. (It has to hold up the wall.)

When you click edit sketch, pick on a sketch line, you will see the blue control arrows, just click them and it will flip from interior face of core to exterior face of core.

In the future when you are creating the sketch if you watch the wall when you pick it you will see a green dashed line, this shows you where the line will be placed, if you move your curson slightly it will flip to the other position.

Forgive me if I am overlooking something, when I drew my floor outline selecting the walls, I checked off the box that says "Extend Into Wall (to core)". It doesn't ask to differentiate between the inside or the outside face of the core (it should).

Is there somewhere else that this is established from? Or do I have to "offset" by my core thickness?

See Scott Bown's post above. When you initially select the walls a green dashed line shows where the line will be placed before you pick the wall. You can go back and edit the floor sketch, and flip the lines to the exterior face by picking each line and clicking on the blue arrows to switch between interior face and exterior face.
