Room with deck above not drawing interior ceiling

[chief-greg]

Hi Chiefs,  CA Newb here.

 

I'm having an issue getting the ceiling to show/draw in a room that has a full or partial deck above it.  I can see the deck joists and beam, and in the other rooms not below a deck, can see the floor joists.  In the attached plan there is a simple 2 story with four sep options to show different variations in full deck, partial deck, no deck, etc..

 

Picture also attached showing the view of the deck from the room below it.

 

Thanks for the help,

greg

I haven't looked at your plan but a deck is considered an outdoor room with a post-beam-pier structure under it.  I think you may have a level roof that needs somehow to drain water if there's no roof over this "deck."  Such roofs that are "roof decks" typically have a roof structure of rafters with a minimum slope, then a membrane roof, sleepers, and wood deck atop the sleepers.

 

Here's a pic of a rooftop deck.  Build it as a roof, not as a deck.

Try a balcony room type. Instead of a deck. Then you will get the ceiling below.

Just change the room label if needed.

Or use a shelf ceiling in the room below, lower till it covers the framing

Thank you both.  I'm trying out the Balcony and Shelf ceiling suggestions.
