Go Framing Defaults>Foundation> Rim Joist and change to 3".

Set Double Rim Joist in the Wall Type (Railing) Default Settings , on the Structure Tab.

 

Default is Automatic = Single as far as I can tell.

Thank you both was out of town yesterday so just seeing it today, Mick think that is what I am looking for to show 2 flr jsts instead of 1 3" will give it a try

Mick just check it out and works like I want it to just wish Chief would let us put the support beam out on the end without having to make revisions

 

Thanks for your help

Yes, the Auto Framing Deck Tool needs some work / more Options , I usually use a Triple Rim as the Beam at the Front so there is more head room underneath for walking or a storage area etc. Unfortunately if you turn off Beams it auto removes the Posts too , definitely not ideal in my case , and making the front wall "load bearing" seems to have no effect , I thought that may cause the beam to build under the railing wall but it doesn't.
