Want different ceiling height in same room

[MaggieTS]

Hello! 

 

I am very new to chief architect so I need some assistance.

 

I have a two story building where the ceiling height over the living space and part of the mud room has 9ft ceilings where the rest of the house is at 8ft ceilings. I have tried changing the floor height of the upper level but it just changes my overall ceiling height of the lower floor to 8ft. 

 

In the image I have my file with the pdf of the design below. You can see the beam going down the center (to the left of the stairs). The area to the left has 9ft ceilings with a gable roof above, and the area to the right has 8ft ceilings with another level above.

 

How can I get the program to recognize I want to change the height over the stairs/part of the laundry/bedroom etc?

 

Thank you!

Hi Eric,

 

Thank you so much for the email and response! This is exactly what I needed. I found another video of yours that helped too - making the wall invisible in recording #1128.
