RobUSMC Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I am working on a new plan where the three separate rooms are sunken. The dining and family are sunken 8" and the garage is sunken 20". This is not a split level home. Whats the best way to lower these areas? The main area in the home home has 8' ceilings and I realize it would need to adjust the sunken room ceiling heights to maintain the flat ceiling throughout.

HumbleChief Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Sorry Rob, I've been using Chief for 20 years and do not understand the structure DBX well enough to do this the proper way or at least in a way that looks OK in section. Tried a couple methods and remembered how utterly useless that dbx is. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
