Room Divider

[Ed_Orum]

I draw a room divider, but it changes into a wall.  How do I get it to stay a room divider with a horizontal dimension of "0"?

 

Thanks,

Make sure the ceiling and floor heights are the same on each side of the room divider

They are not the same.  But what does a ceiling height have to do with a room area that is defined at the floor level?  Or is it just the way Chief think the world should be?

Chief changes the wall so that it can provide a usually appropriate vertical structure at the height change.  When you don’t want a vertical wall at the height change and would prefer to see a single line, I recommend using a Custom Wall Type.  Just copy the OOB Room Divider wall type and set the thickness to .01”.  Name it something like MY Room Divider.  Because the wall already technically has a thickness, Chief won’t change it, and because the wall is nothing more than a single layer Air Gap, it won’t provide anything at the vertical transition areas.

Thanks Alsaskan_Son for the valuable information. I too have a similar query about this topic. Now it's cleared.

Thank you!

Hmmm, I would think that if Chief can detect the height difference and want to change the wall type

then maybe Chief is smart enough to ask if it should change the wall type ?
