DB,
In regards to the videos, I have not found anything that speaks to the situation when there are connecting structures with different roof heights & ceiling heights, and therefore different roof settings as to single floor next to two story roof pitches. I'm in New England with old homes that historically had additions added and multiple gables intersecting to adjacent roof slope, etc.
The videos pertain mostly to one overall structure with different roof planes.
If I set the Ignore 2nd floor setting and use a 48" raise/lower ceiling height for one structure, (creating "knee walls" on 2nd floor) Chief applies it to all "rooms" and I'm not finding how to have a 2nd story structure in the same design as a single level to get the roofs correct. I end up with structures that are too tall all around or ceiling heights that are not correct.
I am guessing it has to do with sequencing of instructions, but which happens first, the second story structure or the one-level section.
In this scenario, I cannot do auto regenerate because there are so many manual roof lines used to create the look my client is after. Most of the roof planes showing are manually drawn.
Also, because the auto regenerate can't be used, to establish a "gull wing" over the front porch using two different pitch levels doesn't work; I end up with a single plane roof.
Any suggestions or links I'm missing for answers? Using X14
Thanks!

this area of an open kitchen has a lower ceiling height. using invisible railings, or walls, fails to hide the upper area to the adjacent, higher ceiling height. what is the process to hide the whole wall/rail to lower only the designated area ceiling height? using Premier X12 thanks for any/all suggestions to try.
