Forgive me if this is a really basic question or something I should know - but I am new to revit and a little lost.

I am trying to draw a 2nd floor in my building (3/4" plywood & 2" gypcrete) & the plywood needs to extend under the exterior studwalls. Can anyone please give me a pointer in the correct direction?

Thank you.

Make the plywood as part of the core and structural. As a substrate, the plywood can't cut structural or support a wall.

Thank you.

I have the plywood as structural. I don't know how to just make the plywood go under the wall though - both parts are going under the wall & I can't seem to just grab one of the layers. Is there a way I can do this?

Copy/paste a sample into a new file and post it. I'm sure it has to do with your priority settings.

Attached. In this case you need to make the concrete substrate. It doesn't hold anything up if you think about it. It is just something under the floor. Don't forget to use join geometry....

Unfortunately you really can't add in the sweeps for the plates. They get consumed when the join geometry tool is used. So you'll need detail componets for the plates.
