winterdd Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Guys, It has been awhile since I had a home with a floor joist system. "Build framing" will not give me the option to bring in the floor joists. What am I missing? I set up the defaults to suit in each room in the structure dbx. Thanks, plan attached.

Solution rgardner Posted November 4, 2021 Solution Share Posted November 4, 2021 You need to build your foundation so it has a place to put the joists. BTW You changed your default to I-joist in framing but not on your level 1 which was already set as lumber. You also have your sheathing layer set as framing and not your i-joist/lumber selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdd Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 You are very right guys, I just noticed that I never built the FDN before I got back on the forum, duh! So, if this is a crawl space on pilings I wont' need stem walls, it will all be open, Maybe dressed up with lattice. How do I manipulate the fdn to suit this? Basically, I need to show double 2x12's for my rim joists and delete the stem walls and draw in manually what I need. Is that the best route to take?

robdyck Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 @ChiefUserBigRob You should leave Floor 1 structure as default and instead change the floor platform default. Turn on auto framing for everyhting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the foundation wall type to a 2x2 framing layer with lattice exterior and turn it off of a foundation wall to remove the footing. For the Rim joist to properly show it as a double rim beam you will most likely want to do it manually (use the extend and trim tools and transform replicate object tools) but you could set your rim joist default to the thickness of the double rim and use a detail.

robdyck Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I used a 3" wall so the piers would be centered under a double rim joist, material: Lattice. 187021078_HillResidence.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
