Lowered Ceilings

I am trying to lower the ceiling in two rooms.  All walls in home are 120" and I want ceiling in entry and kitchen to be 109".  I have read everything I could find and as close as I can get is using shelf ceiling and using soffit for ceiling.  Almost works but gives me a gap between two ceiling heights.  Any suggestions?

double click the room, then change ceiling height under Structure.

Yes, I think so , this is how Drop Ceilings are normally done , though you can use an Air-Gap Material too.

 

The hole you see maybe from using an invisible wall though.
