Hole in Deck Floor

Hello.

 

How do you create a hole in a deck floor?

I have two decks with a spiral staircase going up from one deck to another. 

I need to cut a hole in the deck floor for the spiral stair. Tried using the 'hole in floor' tool with no luck.

Also tried, creating a railing around the stair and making it into an "open floor" with no luck.

Any help is appreciate.

Thank you kindly.

Hey @j2narchitecture

Mine seems to work "OK", but I do have to connect the 'hole' for the opening to an outside wall with an invisible room divider.  I think I have this turned off by default in my software, but out of the box it should be turned on to connect 'island rooms' (or something like that

You could also try drawing a box with the cad tools converting the polyline into a 'hole in floor' this option didn't require a room divider tie in.

Also, like @Alaskan_Sonmentioned - make sure your deck is set to 'automatically regenerate deck framing'
