Hoping there are still some users here using CA X-8 and could assist.  I have tried to create a pony wall using the interior wall and then opening the Wall Specification and changing the wall type to Pony Wall, I make the Lower Wall Type: Interior 4 and the Upper Wall Type: Glass Shower.  My dilemma is resizing the height of each Pony Wall.  Is there a way to do this in CA X8?  I really need the wall to be a wall so the materials will calculate correctly and it makes it much easier to draw out the wall versus using CAD tools or the soffit tool.

Here is an image of what I'm trying to recreate - the only difference is I don't wan't the glass to go to the ceiling (it needs to be 54" tall with lower wall 42").

Appreciate any advice anyone may be able to offer.

It's time for you to upgrade...I did this for you in X8 but...it was like pulling teeth. 

You should open the plan and examine what I did...it can be done, but it's so much easier in X14 (even X12 or 13).

Thank you so much :), I'll review, unfortunately I don't have $6,850 to invest in CA X-14, it would require a CA license upgrade and my current Macbook Pro would not run X14 very efficiently, so I would need to buy a new one.

Thanks so much Steve - this was extremely helpful in getting the rendering close to ideation.
