How could I extend floor finish layer?

[DaviMeloPereira]

Hi experts!

I would like to extend the floor finish layer up to the wall limit.

How can I do that?

Looks like you need a thicker Floor.  Make the floor you have thicker or add another floor type, that is the thickness you need, on top of that floor.   

...there is also a Height Offset from Level Parameter. It won't add thickness, but it will raise the floor.

Thank you, but I guess that I didn't explain myself properly.
Let me try again.
This is my floor:

This is my Wall:

I want to extend the floor's finishing over the wall.

I think what you want is to draw the floor sketch up to the outer edge, then use join geometry. If the layers functions are set correctly it should join properly, or possibly you'd have to switch join order.

[barthbradley]

so you want to have 0,0045 thick "Acabament" on top of that wall?  

...you could add the "Acabament" to the Wall as a Sweep, either by using the Wall Sweep tool or by building the Sweep directly into the Wall Assembly.

I tryed to do that, but it doesn't work.

When I Try to join, if I select the floor, I can't select the wall. And if I select the wall, I can't select the floor.

I could already do it in other ocasions (to join floor with walls), but in this case it doesn't work.

If you want to do it that way, you need to edit the floor and extend the sketch boundary so it overlaps the wall. Then you can use Join Geometry to join the two.  I wouldn't do it that way. Have you tried any of the approaches I suggested?

The layer "Acabament" is the floor finish. I wouldn't like to add finish to the wall. I would like to extend the floor finish over the wall.

Okay, then create another floor type that is 0,0045 thick Acabament only and place it on top of the wall, and then use Join Geometry to join the Acabament layers together.

This is my situation.

This is what I want to do:

I wanted avoid to do it 😅

Is there no way to just extend it?

[barthbradley]

Create Parts from the Floor and then you can extend the Layer.

But my problem is that the floor thickness has the same heigt as that wall. So, when I extend the sketch boundary the wall is deleted. 😣

[barthbradley]

It's not deleted. It's there. You just need to Switch the Join Order.

Yes. I'm doing exactly what I described to you in message #9.  Something wrong with that approach?  It's the one I would use.
