Deck Flooring

[BruceKC]

For some reason I build a deck with straight deck railing and there is no flooring or joists shown in 3D.  I've made sure the room is enclosed, made sure it is a deck and that the framing, deck layers are on, but nothing shows for flooring, just a hole between the rails.  There is no lower floor below or a floor above.  Never had this happen before.  BTW, if this post is showing multiple times, it's because for some reason the website is not showing it as being posted, so I keep trying.

When you open the Deck room, I'd check two things:

1. On the Structure panel what's the Floor Structure, "Planks, Joists" look like?

    Is it Checked Default? When you press Edit does it seem to be set normally? (should just be two layers, #1 Planks, #2 Joists)

2. On the Deck panel, 'Automatically regenerate deck framing' is checked?

@BruceKC By chance, did you change the deck materials? If they are not framing materials then the deck won't frame. It makes it easier to help if you post the plan.

This is only half-accurate - only Joists need to be specified as Framing, otherwise they won't generate as framing, rather you'll still get a solid slab of that material. The top Planks layer will always generate as planks, regardless of what material is used.

@TeaTime Ok then materials are not the issue.

We are all just guessing...can you post a plan or sample plan? Or...at a minimum post some screen shots of the deck structure tab so we can see what you are doing. 

 

Thanks!
