  1. Duplicate any one of the floors to create a new custom floor type.
  2. Modify the structure so that the function is "Finish" and so that the only layer is a White Tile with a thickness of 1".
  3. Create a new floor of this type that will sit on top of the second floor slab. Thus it should have the same boundary as the second level floor and have a 1" offset to account for the thickness of the finish layer.
  4. Check in 3D or an elevation view to make sure the floor layers line up as desired.
