Deck is over a non deck room. Framing may not be correct.

[Keefers]

I have an issue creating a deck on top of a basement.  Part of the basement is not under the house.  A deck will be on top of it.  I get this dialog.

• Deck is over a non deck room. Framing may not be correct.

These issues are also related.

1. I need ceilings above those basement rooms but
2. I don't need a traditional roof but tile surrounding a pool

I'd like to turn off roof creation above these rooms BUT the ceiling checkbox is connected to the roof checkbox (they turn on and off together).

 

This article did not resolve the issue.

 

The basement below looks like the provided graphic.  The gray pit will be a pool.  In front of the pool is the lower level bedrooms which are not in a basement.  The house is on a mountain so we are just working with the land. So... in short several connected issues.

 

Thanks ahead of time,

Keith

Name it a "Balcony" then.

@DavidJPotter is the actual textual name important?  I did select balcony as a type, but I named it crawlspace because that’s what it is.

For many questions, and this is one, knowing what software you are using is key to providing the best suggestions. Please see this topic:

The upper room names are not just names in the dialog rather they are programming commands that directly effect the room so named as you have seen. Proper naming of spaces is a fundamental place to start along with Default Settings catagories.
