Balcony

Is there a way to remove the structure from a balcony like pictured below to expose the floor structure? I know you can do it in the framing plans but the actual hardie board closure material is what needs to be gone. The balcony was built with railing walls.

You could define the balcony as a Deck, build the framing, then delete the rim board:

You should even be able to put a custom profile on the end of those joists if you want it look just like the picture.
