Small strips of OSB sheathing on top of my web trusses

Looking in my floor definitions, I definitely understand why there is 3/4 OSB above my trusses. 14" Web trusses, with 3/4" OSB as the subfloor. That said, I was expecting SHEETS of OSB over the top of the trusses rather than little strips. Those little strips also show up in my schedule and you can select them in the 3D view. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Nevermind, solved it... but this is a "good to know" so I'll leave it here. In your floor structure definition, each layer has its own structure attributes (rather than the whole floor structure only having a single attribute). If you didn't click on each layer in the floor and see the settings change you might not realize it. In the screen shot you can see that the OSB Hrz layer is selected and the framing is set to Truss, so it creates this little truss strip made of OSB. Likewise, if you click on Fir Framing 1, it will also be set to truss. If I uncheck the "Framing" checkbox on the OSB layer, it fixes the problem.
