jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Is that a camera setting or a wall setting? Under defaults? I am looking but can't see how to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 I found it, and yes invisible walls are displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 John, you'll need some attic walls in those locations. If you already have those in the plan, is the attic wall layer turned on in your camera view? Posting the plan would help us help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hello, yes there are attic walls in those locations, thank you. The camera view is turned on. My file size is too large to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Attached is the reduced size file. While I was deleting all of the plan extras, I discovered that the tray ceiling in the Dining room is related to the problem. When I delete the tray ceiling in the dining room, the upper portion of the wall generates correctly on the dining room side, but still does not generate by the invisible wall near the staircase.

robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I have the same situation in the plan I'm working on right now. I need to take a section view (facing the attic wall from the side of the lower ceiling), then drag the bottom of the attic wall down until it snaps to the top of the drywall.

robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 The walls on (assumed) the main floor will automatically find the highest ceiling. This causes the bottom of the attic wall to match that height. Select the main floor wall, Structure tab, checck Stop at Ceiling Above. This should cause the main floor wall to stop at the first available celling (the lower one) and the attic wall will automatically follow. Cross your fingers!

robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Explode the tray ceiling, then pull the lower ceiling plane 4.5" back to the inside of the invisible wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 This wall I had to adjust manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 The "Stop at Ceiling Above" did not work, I am trying to get my section view right to drag the wall down now. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Well, I'm half the way there, thanks for your help! It worked to explode the tray ceiling. I am still trying to manipulate the staircase wall and drag it down. It wants to remain a siding wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From inside the living room, take a camera or section view looking at that wall. Select it with a single click. Drag the lower vertical edges from right to left.

robdyck Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Also, all your 2nd floor walls that have a roof plan butting the, should have this checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsisco Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hello again - By the way, this is not John you have been talking to, I'm his wife, Evan. He knows a lot more about the technical aspects of drafting than I do. It is working now, I drug the upper wall down, converted to a pony wall so the material would show correctly. There was a gap between the two upper walls that would not meet for a long while, but is has now resolved - I'm not sure what I did to fix that. Thanks for tackling this with me!
