I think that I made a mistake and placed the Sheathing and the Siding [of the Wall Assembly] beyond [so that it overhangs] the Rim Board of the Floor Assembly. I was expecting to easily go back and Edit the Walls and go into Edit Strucutre and go to Modify and unlock the Sheathing, Air and the Siding Layers and extend them down to the ledge of the Sub-Structure. However, I am getting an Error - Cannot be ignored. 4 Errors: Cannot extend layer(s) of the highlighted vertically compound wall.
Upon reflecting for a moment of how this is actually done in the field I realized that the Wall Assembly would be afixed to the top of the Floor Assembly flush with the Rim Board and no sheathing would necessarily extend over the Rim Board. They would then be Tyekked. And the Brick Veneer or Siding would go over the Tyvek. So note how the Floor Assembly is exposed and the Siding does not cover it. Also the Garage does not have a Floor Assembly...it just has a Slab, yet the same looking Rim is around the Garage.
So my question is do I need to pull back the Sheathing from extending beyond the Rim and then try to unlock the Siding Layer so that it could attach to the Top/Base to the Foundation Walls? Or how then can I repair this error?
