Awesome, Thank you Eric!

Thank you for your response.

Yes, strangely enough the taper points down rather than up and that is exactly how I made the mistake. The column is for an old Victorian house and the longer square end is meant to be on top in order to accommodate a spandrel.

It is a symbol but, unless I'm missing something, I can only rotate it horizontally. I cannot seem to flip it.

  I drew this column and realized too late that it's upside-down. I am looking for advise on how flip it. I tried "Reflect about an Object" but had no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I no longer have my original profile tracing.

Thank you for your responses

The house has two stories plus an attic and I need to generate a floor platform above the second floor. I am having two problems:

1. When I add a floorl, the roof is raised and the exterior details (which are extensive) become a scrambled mess. I have been able to add "attic" levels in drawings created in x6 without disturbing the roof, but this is an old drawing (CA 8.0).

2. I am still not able to select or open a Room Secification window in the newly generated 3rd level.

There were a couple of roof related issues when I migrated the file to x7.  I had to delete and rebuild a couple of the roof plains since the facia and moldings were detached and appearing a significant distance away from the roof edges. Maybe the roof problems have somthing to do with it?

I am having trouble working with an attic space

The original drawing was created quite a while back with Chief 8.0 and I am now revisiting it in order to design a finished attic space. I was able to migrate the drawing successfully to x7 with only a handful of minor problems, but x7 does not seem to recognize the current attic space. I have tried to generate a third floor but I cannot build within the existing roof area without creating a full hieght third floor and raising the roof. I can manually create walls within the attic space and they will autmatically trim to the height of the roof but, since I am unable to create the floor, I am not able to build recognizable rooms.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! The roof and exterior are complex and I would rather not have to recreate everything.
