**Frame Floor** – frames selected floors or parts from the model according to predefined configuration.

*Note: frame direction depends on the **Span Direction** in the Floor Boundary:*

### First time in the project

The first time you click **Frame Floor** in a new project, you will get a message that the framing families are not loaded. You can load them directly from here:

Just click OK:

Framing families can be also loaded using **Floor+M** → **Settings** → **Load Families**:

**Floor+M** checks the status of selected floors. If there is something wrong with the floors, you will get a detailed report. In the image below, you can see possible report messages.

*Let's solve the problem:*

*To fix these kinds of problems, you usually need to go to **Link Floor** and check the situation:*

*Selected floor type has framing possibility disabled, so you just need to select the checkbox near the **Frame** column. You can also assign **Framing Layer** and **Framing Configuration** for every layer:*

*There is no problem if framing configuration in not assigned to the layer. You can assign it in the **Link Floor** dialog, or **Floor+M** will give you this option during the **Frame Floor** process:*

*Selected a sample framing configuration, which automatically comes with **Floor+M,** and click OK:*
