capitaldesigns Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My client wants to add a coffered ceiling over the break room. I drew a rectangular polyline where I want the coffered ceiling to go. When I try to convert the polyline into a hole in the ceiling I get an error message saying the ceiling hole polyline is placed where the ceiling platform has 2 different heights, and tells me to move the hole. The ceiling in this small room is 10'-0" high. No multi-height ceiling. How do I fix this and what is telling CA that I have multi-height ceiling platforms ? I have included my plan. The area I am speaking about is clouded. Thanks, Mike PTI Technologies Remodel with coffered ceiling.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillMc Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Office above the room where you are trying to create the ceiling coffer has a structural floor level of 149.5", whilst the default for the floor above is 148". This is why you are getting the message of 2 ceiling heights. I enclosed the area on the upper floor over the office, changed the floor level of the office to 148", and the problem went away. Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitaldesigns Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am new to this so I am not really sure why this is happening. I enclosed the room above the office and clicked on that room, went to the structure tab under room specifications and changed the Floor (C) to 148" from 149 1/2". I also did the same for the other rooms. I went back to floor 1 and double clicked on the break room where we are making the coffered ceiling. I now get a message in the BDX that " Ceiling values may not be changes as the floor above has varying ceiling heights". All of the boxes under absolute elevations and relative heights are grayed out except Floor (C). I went to each room above and they all have Floor (C) at 148". I clicked on all of the rooms around the break room to see if I get the same message in the other room. In all of the other rooms I do not get this message. I am missing something. I am not sure what I need to change and what floor to do it in. Can you take a look at my plan and let me know where I screwed up and how to fix so I can put a coffered ceiling over the break room.

capitaldesigns Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you very much David for the video. I was having a hard time figuring out where to go to resolve the ceiling/floor height issue. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
