Drop Ceiling Edges

I have a 6" drop ceiling with holes.

But I want the perimeter to jump up 6" to the original ceiling.

Problem is the ceiling vertical plane does not build. See photo.

I tried putting a hole there but it just trims the original ceiling polyline.

I have windows that finish at the top ceiling line, so I can not have the hole inside the main drop ceiling.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Thanks all..

Tech support had no magic, same methods mentioned here.

The problem I had with soffits no showing an opening went away once I restarted Chief.

So that is what I did use, but the plan view soffit lines do not join so I have to use a polyline for plan view.

Thanks Steve, the issue I had with that method is the the room schedule is not correct.

And the owner wanted a room schedule in the plans.

Alan - You can select the "room" outside the invisible walls and in the "schedule" tab, "uncheck" include in schedule. So...I don't think creating a "room schedule" would be a reason not to use invisible walls. Also, in the schedule itself you can select only the room types you want to include...so, rooms marked "unspecified" can be excluded in the schedule. 

 

Am I missing something?
