Why don't we get a way to specify deck rimboard different from house structure floor frame?

[GeneDavis]

Am I missing it somewhere?

 

I set up framing defaults for my floor one deck to be I-joists with 1-1/8" engineered lumber rims.  For decks, I set up the default to be a specified depth for framing (the OOB is 2x8, i.e., 7.25 deep members), but cannot find a way to set the spec for rims.

 

Thus, when I autoframe a deck, the rims get framed with 1-1/8 thick engineered lumber stock, at the deck-frame depth of 7.25".  I have to tediously edit the deck frame to be P.T. lumber 2x8.

 

Why?  And why can't we get the same "max length" thing for deck rims for material list counts, like we can for the house floor frame rims?

Is the "Room" labelled as a Deck?  as it sounds like something is messed up if not , try it in a new plan, opened off the CA default Plan Template as what you are saying doesn't sound "normal" in my experience.
