Change floor structure type

[lavorhaynie]

Placing joist direction labels always shows "I-joist" floor structure when there is a room above.  I need to display a standard 2x10 structure. I am not able to do this. In Default Settings---Framing (framing defaults-1st-Subfloor for floor 2-Edit)---Floor Structure Definition (Structure Type) the Structure Type is set to "Lumber" and is always grayed out and not selectable.  

Question 1: Where/How do I set the Structure Type

Question 2: Why does "I-joist" show in the floor direction label when the Structure Type is set to "Lumber"?

It looks like you are do8ng default settings for first floor,  try second flooor or post plan

It is on the 1st floor where you set the ceiling and/or floor structure for floor 2.  

 

Here is the plan...

Make sure that in defaults under floors and rooms - current floor your settings reflect what you want. This is what is used when you see default in room structure dialogues.

You're in the right place. In your pic where you drew a yellow box around "Lumber" that's grayed out, the arrow is pointing to the subflooring (plywood). Click on the joist and you can change it to "Lumber"

 

Clicking in the "Thickness" field for Layer 2 also moves the arrow to the joist and allows the Type change.

I do not think you are correct.  On level 1 you define the ceiling for level 1 and floor for level 1.  

 

On level 2 you will set the floor and ceiling for level 2.  I believe I am correct unless I am missing something.

 

If you are trying to define the floor for level 2,  you must be on level 2.
