How can I hang my floor joists so that the tops of the joists are equal with the top of the sill plate?
 

First, draw in the Sill Plate and Subfloor and then run a Cleanup. This will place the Subfloor on top of the Sill Plate. Next, draw in the joists using Joist Set or Joist Poly. Once drawn, and prior to running a Cleanup, edit each joist set and remove the checkmark from the Cleanup. This will stop the joists from cleaning up to the outside of the sill plate. While still in the edit menu, change the level number so that the joists are identified differently from the other floor system components. Then enter the appropriate offset down for the joist; the offset will be equal to the joist depth minus the sill plate depth.
