sorry for asking again

 

i can not select "cover floor" on a wall with a garage door, sill plate is visible

the button is greyed out, but it works as expected on the other walls without doors

or with a entry or smaller door

thanks in advance

I think it has to have a wooden floor Stefan.

maybe, we don't have often houses with an inside garage here

mostly separate and prefabricated, but with concrete floor

i got a picture from a client he wants to build a similar house with garage

anyway, will ask SP techsupport

Stefan,

 

For your garage wall definitions,

Add a PT Plate to the bottom of your walls.

 

1. Garages typically have slab floors, not a wood floor system

2. No need to add sill plate in Floor System Mode

3. Automatically "cuts" the PT plate and bottom plate for your overhead doors

4. No need to worry about "covering floor below" as it has none
