I cannot for the life of me select my floor in any plan view!!!!!!!!!!!!  When I go to an elevation it is in the correct location and when I select it there it gives me the option to Edit the floor, which I want to do...I am trying to split the face of the floor to show to seperate finishes.  The base floor is simple concrete slad with part of the space having a polished concrete finish and the other half of the space having carpet tiles and I would love to show the two different finishes on my floor finish plan.  However, when I select to edit the floor and it takes me to the plan view it puts me in the floor sketch mode and does not allow me to edit it!  Help! Is this a catch 22????

you need to use the split face tool. It is up by the measuring tape and paint bucket.  Once you have made the new regions you can use the paint bucket to apply a material to the floor. you could also do a new floor type of just the carpet tiles and offset it to line up where you need it.

To select your floor for the split-face, you need to find the edge of the floor in a plan view.  Sometimes it helps to hide a perimeter wall so you can see the edge....

"TAB" is your best friend to select the proper element.

TAB never works for me when trying to select a floor or ceiling...BUT hiding the exterior wall worked brillantly!!!!!!!  Why didn't I think of that?  Thank you sooooooo much!!
