2nd Floor wall Heights

Good Morning.

If I wanted to use a 60" 2nd floor exterior wall height and a 9' ceiling height, what would be the best way to go about it? I realize the wall height is determined by the ceiling height, but I just can't seem to get around that.

Thanks, Tom

Set your 2nd floor room height to 60"...build the roof, make sure auto rebuild roofs is turned off, then, open defaults and change your 2nd floor room height to 9'. You will get a ceiling break line showing where the sloping ceiling intersects the flat 9' ceiling.

Thanks Steve, I guess the issue for me is setting the wall to 60", where is that setting?

 

Wall heights are determined by the "room". Open the room dialogue and set the ceiling height. This will set your wall height. 

 

You can also leave the room at the default height...and use transform replicated to move the roof plane down. Enter the value to lower in the "Z" axis.

So...if the room is 97 1/8...and you want the wall to be 60"...just lower the roof 37 1/8".
