Davidjames - autobuild does work, but manual does not.  I do start with the outside wall.

Jon - In my simple drawing, the default ceiling height in the floor was set to 8'.  When I changed it, the build worked correctly.  

My problem is that the house will have different roof heights.  A family/ great room with 12', the rest is 10', and a couple of storage areas that will drop to 8'

Drawzilla, I want the walls to be higher-- that is the problem, the roof was going to low.  

I thought that if I change the ceiling height in each room that would be sufficient, however that does not seem to be the case.    Another way I found was to choose the open/transform box and change the z factor, but it seems like some setting is overriding my work.

Is this a work around?  I don't understand why it wouldn't automatically build to the ceiling height?  Thank you for your response

I have a problem that has recently occurred so I must have changed a setting without knowing it.

I created 4 exterior walls and assigned the ceiling a height (10')

When I manually build 2 roof planes and combine them to make a gable roof, the resulting roof is ALWAYS a couple feet lower in height than the room's ceiling.

It must be a default setting but I'm baffled.  

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
