concrete deck for entrance landing

[Don_Straub_Const]

I am drawing an outside stairway to the upstairs for an entrance of a duplex. How can I change the decking to be concrete? i can edit the beams and posts to be iron and the stairs and the railings but the decking I have not figured out how to edit.

Change your room definition from Deck to Porch. That should take care of it by default.

Thanks Chopsaw, I tried the solution two things happened all the framing for the deck went away the posts and beams. The second thing was the roof line configured to cover the now porch. any other ideas?

Open porch room dbx/structure/uncheck "roof over this room" and rebuild roof planes.

[Chopsaw]

Hopefully Shane's suggestion will fix the roof for you, and the deck framing is what you wanted to replace with concrete?  Not to sure why the posts and beams were affected.  Could you post some screen shots or maybe the plan file?

Don't use a room or deck. Create a landing, manually add the posts, then change the landing materials.

What I wanted to accomplish was to replace the decking with concrete and assign the post and beams to be steel, I had a issue with the joisting but made it 3/4" plywood and changed the planking to 0 gap and a width wider than the landing and assigned concrete to it. What I wanted to end up with was a steel beam and post framing supporting a 4" to 6" concrete deck. Here is the plan at ground zero again. stairs dup.pdfmeeting 1.plan
