I have walls that have brick and the brick is not set as bearing. If I draw the automatic slab in floor system, as soon as I modify it to structural, it attaches to the outside of the brick. When I do area and attach to outside of bearing, it excludes the brick.

Got it.  Thanks you Yvon.  I had to re input the slab again but it took it this time.
