That sort of thing (rim joists) is a setting in "Framing Defaults".
The auto framing also is directly effected by where you set the "Main Layer" of custom wall types (framing is preprogrammed to build to "Main Layer" indications you set under "Define Wall Types".
It is almost always something you forgot to set or unset, a check box overlooked, an input or default setting that you thought you understood and didn't, overlooked or forgot because the software only follows what is set in those locations where tendencies are defaults are set.
Like Dan Baumann says Chief "is smartly programmed but it is not smart." You have to apply the "smart" and make all its settings right.
