The Floor is a hybrid object, you're seeing the 2D part which cannot be textured. You can fill it with a hatch (to shows lines) or an image fill which might give you the results it sounds like you want.

IIRC, you have to click on the center point to activate the grips.

Not my specialty, but can't you do a solid subtraction out of the DTM? -

Notes Database behaviours that don't work well
Kevin Allen replied to Christiaan's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I've seen this happen. I also wish I could readily open and edit the database. I had, for some time, and XML file and a TXT file -
It's complex modeling, but I would use Sub-Division. You might able to do it with a series of Solid Subtractions, but it would be a challenge.

Subdivision Surface as Site Modifier
Kevin Allen replied to martinfdc's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Have you tried converting to Site Model from Source Data? I have not, but seems worth exploring. The Subdivision might have to be converted to a 3D Poly first, but... -

I think this is either. bug or a new WAD, but Preferences, Display Tab. Set Display light object to never.

The tool is in the Spotlight tool set. You can also purchase it as a stand alone. I've found it very valuable for a long time. Your solution does seem, to work, but I would show flat monitors on the wall for accuracy.
