QUESTION

When I try to add a floor finish layer to a Deck room, the following Information message displays:

 

 

What does this mean?

ANSWER

This message appears because, unlike other room types that use a finish material that spans the entire floor, deck planking is part of the structure and does not require a finish layer.

A finish layer can still be added, but this would be some other type of covering laid over the deck planking, such as astro-turf, deck carpet, etc.
