BUG: Alinor Ballroom Floor (crafted furnishing item) Is Not a Floor

This is actually quite sloppy when a floor does not act like a floor. I built a duelling arena on coldharbour surreal estate, I used the crafted floor tiles for the actual arena floor so that it is level and it looks great too. The problem is when players are duelling they have problems.. for example a DK can dragon leap and WILL end up below the Alinor floor, Ground AoEs will also go through the floor tile.

I used these tiles because the item count of 700 for something as large as this plot is laughable and the size of the tile allowed me a lot of flexibility to expand other areas of the plot. I’ve wasted god knows how many hours of my time for absolutely nothing and ended up with something that looks great being not fit for purpose because of an oversight from the devs, it’s a floor, It should behave like a floor. Platforms (daedric ashen for example) also have this problem. Please fix it.

    It's because your character sees it as a floor, but your skills don't. Skills register the real floor below it as floor level.

    Indeed very annoying.
    Maybe we should tell ZOS!
    It's been 18months, that might just be enough time to have the bug acknowledged at least!

    Yes I recently did a bit of googling to see if this has been reported before and as you say it’s been a known issue with “platforms” going back as far as when Homestead was released.

    I wouldn't say that's a bug. None of the furnishings we use are considered "floor". It is most likely a limitation if the engine.
