With an Open Below room there is no floor platform. You should see in my example plan above that if you turn Auto Framing on, all the exterior chase walls automatically balloon frame anyway. Its only the partition wall between the house and chase that needs to be specified as balloon framed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it doesn't build the platform with open below, I was simply referring to why it didn't come to me to do it this way... the mindset of first having to create the floor for it but then basically undo the platform using open below and balloon frame options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
