How do you not frame asbuilts?
I do total addition and remodeling, would be nice to Have an asbuilt tab so when you frame new addition the asbuilt would not frame or figure any materials for it that would add to material list.(assuming they ever really get serious about making the material estimator a usable tool). I know how for the walls, but for floors and roof framing have not been able to figure out. Steel trying to set up that perfect template. thanks

For floors/Ceilings I use a Platform hole so it will not build.
This is good if there is one part that you want to frame manually without having to delete what gets built.
Roofs you can copy. delete, build the framing and then paste hold position to get the roofs back...........

I suppose you could create a custom wall type that looks like, in camera views like a frame wall but it could be called "siding, existing" or some such but the structural layer could be some non-frame type and it would then not produce wall framing.
I like the platform hole application for preventing floor-ceiling framing.

David thanks for your help to. I set my build platform to my outside sheeting layer for my walls not to frame but was not able to stop the floors,ceiling and roof from framing. Allen suggested platform holes which is good and coping and deleting roofs temp. I was asking can you use the room polyline tool to do the holes and then draw interior walls for the asbuilt? thanks

I use the box tool and convert to a platform hole.
Mostly Ceiling hole because that is where you have the bearing partitions..........
