MN_JohnH Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 I have been going through this plan and i can't figure out why the floor joists always frame as I-joists. I have set the defaults and room floor structures, everything i can find. I have turned off auto framing. I can change individual joist to framing but they change back when I reframe the floor. And why is my subfloor sheathing showing as strips on top of the joists? I know this is something simple again but I can't figure it out. I am using x17, (I know I need to change that in my signature). Floor joist problem.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to your floor structure definition, item 1 should be your sheathing. Make sure "Framing" isn't checked. Matter a fact, this same dbx, see how your item 2 should be is marked.. this determines your joist style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have been through this before, hopefully I can remember next time. Thanks Michael! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
