Dangling OSB

Question:  How do I get rid of the piece of OSB (see pics below)?  Obviously it has to do with the fact that I created a stair well under a sloped ceiling, but I can't be the only person who's ever done this.  As always any help is appreciated...thanks!

It has been a while since I have seen that but I think it sometimes happens with drywall sticking out and is associated with a rogue ceiling plane.  Not sure if it would be the same with the OSB or not. If you don't get a good answer soon I would post the plan file.

To me it looks like a full floor assembly directly under a roof and the depth of the floor assembly is deeper than the roof's and therefore sticks out.

 

(Not sure if this is the source of the problem or if Chief is able to automatically handle such a condition by beveling the end of the floor assembly).

That piece of OSB is floor sheathing from the room above. In order to remove it, that upper room would need to be an "Attic" room type which would automatically remove the floor structure. If you don't want to lose the upper room definition, you can draw an invisible wall about 12" in from the lower exterior wall. This will give you a small 'room' that can be defined as an Attic.

The location of this invisible wall can be clearly determined by taking a section view of the building and using some cad tools and/or measuring to find the best location to separate those upper rooms.
