Build the attic floor

I seem to be progressing fairly well, however now that I have the roof built, I do not have an attic floor showing. I have been retired from using CA for quite some time and the proper steps to build the attic aren't coming back to mind. Build framing is another topic for later as I am now preparing to develop the construction plans for submission to the Building Department for permitting after I get the structural back from the engineer. Thanks in advance!

I don’t think the attic ever has a floor. I’m pretty sure you could just add another floor to your model and make it very shallow like 3/4 of an inch or something so that you could actually have a floor system in your attic. I’m not in front of a computer so I can’t verify that this might work

You could add the floor above the joist in the Structure panel>>Ceiling Structure setting of your second floor. Click "Insert Above", change to plywood, set your thickness, uncheck framing for that item. Anyway, worth trying.
