I have this problem all the time and I'm wondering if others run into it as well. This great room has a 18' ceiling height. The only way to get the wall to frame at 18' was to get rid of the vaulted ceiling and frame the walls and then set the walls to retain framing and put the ceiling planes back in. When the roof planes are drawn one side shows Baseline Height 221 1/2" with 5 1/2" heal putting the top plate at 216" The other side of the same room puts the baseline height at 221 1/2" with a 100 3/8" heal height and a top plate of 121 1/8"? I really hate how the top plate can only be controlled by the room ceiling height. I very often find my baseline and heal heights scrambled in weird ways. I want a 12" heal on these scissor trusses.
