POST TO BEAM DOES NOT MEET ROOF

Hello,

 

I have a client that wants to add a roof over an existing deck.  I have created a new rail on the deck to support the roof per his request and chosen the "post to beam" option on the railing style, but the beam does not reach the roof--there is a large gap.  It does not let me manually make it higher and I have gone through all the adjustments.  On the lower end of the roof, I did the same thing with that railing and it does meet the roof.  All my settings on both sides are the same so I'm not sure what I've done wrong and this is not the first time I have ran into this issue.  Is there a way to get this to work using the railing or do I just need to manually draw my posts and beams? Thank you.

Posts are programmed to meet the established ceiling. It appears you ordered no ceiling, so then "No Post". Make sure it is set "post to ceiling" in the Wall Specification Dialog and "No Ceiling" in the room -structure tab.
