veganfishtacos Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm trying to add some interior walls into a room with cathedral ceilings. I need the interior (dividers) to extend to the roof. By default it seems they don't. They disappear at the classical ceiling height... and a space is cut out of the roof where they would appear. To reporduce 1) Draw a box room with exterior walls. 2) Vault the ceiling Select room >> Room Specification >> Structure >> Uncheck "Flat Ceiling Over This Room" 3) Add an interior wall extending from any exterior wall out into the room 4) Add a floor camera to inspect your work There's a hole in the ceiling now. And the walls is like a pony wall or something. It stops well short of the ceiling. I need it to go all the way up to the ceiling. Any ideas? I'm using Home Designer Suite 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 In the room structure dbx, uncheck ceiling over this room. It will build to the bottom the the roof structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryl_C_Crane Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with Home Designer Suite. Can you manually build the ceilings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganfishtacos Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hey guys thanks for helping me out! It doesn't look like I have that option in the room structure dbx. Attached is a screen capture of my options on the room spec dbx. I've tried just about every combo I can think of. The tool really wants to make shelf ceilings like this https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/64/using-the-shelf-ceiling-room-structure-setting.html?playlist=96 or those nice short walls and holes in the roof shown above. I need walls that connect to the ceiling/roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganfishtacos Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Ah... I'm trying to run with the big dogs. Not a good idea apparently. Sorry! I'll go ask the harry-homeowners. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If you have the option to balloon thru ceiling, in the wall DBX, that will make the wall go up to the roof also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If you have Auto Rebuild Attic Walls toggled on in General Wall Defaults, Chief will auto build attic walls to fill the space above the default flat ceiling height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
