I'm designing a house using ICFs for the basement and main floor exterior walls. After adding the floor system, the main floor walls keep offsetting up the 3/4" for the subfloor, as if the main floor walls would rest on the subfloor as in traditional framing. Is there a way to turn the automatic offset off? I've added a ledger for the bearing end of the floor truss and raised the beams so the tops of the trusses, ledger, and beams are in the same plane.

Set the subfloor thickness to 0". That might work.

In the Drawing Options, Material Dimensions, Floor Joist Options, set the Floor System Alignment option to 'Inside of Innermost Bearing'. I also set my foam on the inside of the ICF wall to 'bearing'.
