I'd like to make a request for a floor framing object. I imagine it as a single object that is defined as a polygon in plan.
Thanks.https://bimcomponents.com/GSM/Details/17793While it doesn't use the method you describe which sounds very similar to the Rooftool this object allows you stretch out joists at whatever centres you require to do what you are looking for.

The hotstpot editing to move around the building shape is nice!
If you want some more wishes and hard stuff... depending on if this is just to generate more believable sections, or to generate believable framing... there would need to be a way to include intermediate ledgers/beams as joists that long aren't workable in practice.
I think it would be complex to make a single floor framing object with arbitrary intermediate beams... but your existing object would work if it had the option to individually control the size and visibility of the rim joists. Then, for example, a full object as shown could span to an intermediate bearing wall or beam... and then a 'half' object (omitting the rim joist in order to but the joists up to the first objects rim/beam) could continue the span. etc. The half-objects would be needed anyway to rotate the framing direction depending on the spans. For example, your screenshot shows all joists going left to right, but based on the spans between bearing points, that wouldn't be how this would be built.
A great option would be if the joist profile could be chosen between rectangular lumber and manufactured i-joists. And, some kind of blocking for twisting would be a good option, too, if making real framing vs visuals for sections...
