Message : Deck is over a non deck room?

[TomBiggs]

Hey, how to you treat terraces in CA.  Is there a room type for roof decks that are above conditioned rooms?

[Dennis_Gavin]

Try balcony.

.......Or  porch and change floor structure........  

 

what is very important here is to take a section and note how the walls frame.  Do the walls frame to the upper level or to the stepped down balcony/deck/porch.

Either tagging it a balcony or porch works.  Either way the floor structure needs to be adjusted.  Thanks.  I'll just hit the check box to make it a unique name (Roof Terrace).
