How to unlock the locked top plate elevation setting

OK, I am new to Chief Architect, and I am sure there is a simple way to edit this, but I am lost in finding it.  I am starting a new remodel project by building the existing plan.  The exisitng structure has 84" high exterior walls, 4/12 roof slope with cathedral ceilings, however, the top plate elevation is locked at 109 1/8" and I cannot find how to change this to the required 84".  I have the ceiling heights set to 84" and the default 1st floor set to 84", but the sections and elevations are still showing the higher plate height.  Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Sounds like you may need to do a Re-Frame on the Project if Dims are still finding the framing at the Chief Default of 109"....

 

you can set the framing to Automatic so this doesn't happen , just make sure Framing Labels are NOT on as this can really slow Chief down.
