Stair opening Finish: Best Approach requested

[gravattedesign]

Good Day all,

My stair openings need a finish material at the floor framing, not to mention a trim nosing to finish off the floor finish material. Is there a setting to force the finishing with a molding OR is it just something that has to be done separately with stacked molding polylines OR is it handled in the Room definition of "Stairwell"?

 

Thank you for any feedback. Best regards,

The "finish" at the floor framing is determined by the Exterior and Interior Layers of the railing wall specification. These layers will extend down to cover the exposed floor thickness but the Main Layer will not. If you only have a main layer, then only your framing will show in 3D views (or nothing, if you haven't built the floor framing) because the main layer does not extend below the floor level. On a railing wall these layers do not appear at the railing level, but you need them to finish the face of the opening. It can be any material:

 

 

It works the same way on exterior walls. If your finish material or wall cladding is in the Main Layer section, and you don't have it in the Exterior Layer, the "finish" won't extend down and cover the floor framing.
