Thanks some how making this post and restarting fixed my problem. 

I'm probably missing something very obvious.  I'm trying to work on a joist layout and it seems that no matter what I select the joists are always I beams in the model. I tried searching for the answer but I haven't found it yet. Thanks.

Thanks I'm new at this and completely missed that option

I'm working on a design now with a covered carport that will be next to the house but will be packed gravel instead of a slab.  Is there a way to exclude this area will doing the automatic foundation building or a better way to build the foundation in general.  The house foundation will be a monoslab.
