It would be nice if Chief could have the setup for building floor framing like wall layers to make this process easier. If you want a joist header to have exterior insulation then stucco to match the foundation finish with wood siding on walls above joist header, there are a lot of steps to go through to do this. Many of them manually like Scott suggested. Or maybe they could treat this another way like when extending cabinet backsplashes to base or uppers.

Thank you Scott and Solver for the pointers. Just looking for a way to take away from editing manually. Jeez dshalll-good job on picking up the error of the joist header off the plate. The one thing you missed was not having insulation on the exterior is that you lose a thermal break (nothing to do with a coffee break) The joist header is one of the most neglected areas I've seen in my 37 years of construction. You are talking about 200-300 sf area that can have inadequate insulation and air sealing. The interior space of the joist header will be sprayed with closed cell when the underside of roof is done. In my area clients stay in their homes for years and they appreciate spending a little more money upfront to save in the future.

Trying to stop siding on first floor to top of floor and add 2" foam with stucco to joist/sill header to match lower ICF stucco. Is there a way to do this with the joist header(platform) to show it properly in plan, floor framing and cross section views? First floor wall would be 2x6, 7/16" OSB, 1/2 insulation sheeting then siding. Stucco on joist/sill header and foundation wall would be even to outside of insulated sheeting on first floor. This keeps siding away from the ground more. Thanks for any help, Bradak X9 user
