how to extend wall to ceiling

[ChiefChrissy]

How can I extend the brick wall to the ceiling in the picture below?  It wants to stop at the first ceiling but I need to to go to the double height space.

Open the wall, on the structure tab select “ballon through ceiling”.

I did that and it only worked for one of the walls but now I cannot change the material on it.  Any other suggestions or ideas why this might be happening?

Press Alt-Q on your keyboard ( General Wall Defaults)  and see if Auto Build Attic Walls is on......

Start off simple: in the Camera view, is your "Walls, Attic" layer on? I've put myself in a tizzy before not realising that layer was off in my camera view layer set.

 

Next thought: are those Roof Planes or Ceiling Planes? Because walls won't build up to Ceiling Planes, but they will to Roof Planes.

[ChiefChrissy]

Thank you, they are ceiling planes which explains that problem.  I switched to roof planes and that worked however I cannot change the finish of the wall above the the intermediary ceiling.  its coming in as wood?   any thoughts on that??

@ChiefChrissyeven when using Chief for just interiors, it is best to model roofs over the room or rooms.  You have now learned that walls build to roofs, and if you are using Chief to produce renderings, roofs work to make lighting more realistic.

It's also a good Idea to let Chief build a Auto foundation for the same reason ...to help stop light bleed especially

No Pics and no Plan make that a guessing game.....
