Wall/Ceiling

Is it possible to have 14' walls and 12' ceilings.

 

Thanks,

[DBCooper]

Yes.  See this tech article:

I was able to create taller walls with a dropped ceiling, however the roof is doing this.

See attached.

Is there a wall to roof tool in chief?

There's a couple things that could be happening here, but walls should never stick through roof planes like that, they should automatically cut down to fit under the roof. I  would assume that in your attempts to get this to work, you've manually pulled the tops of your walls up to the desired height, locking them at that height. Open your walls and look at the Structure panel, make sure that Default Wall Top is checked.

I pulled the wall up above the roof, can I use the roof plane to cut the wall as needed.

yeah, generally speaking, don't do this. Walls know where they're supposed to go, let them do their thing and you'll be better off. I only ever adjust walls in 3D/Section views if nothing else seems to work, but don't make a habit of it.

thanks, appreciate it!

Is there a way to add attic vents on the roof plane?  So far only being able to find vents that position in attic floor.

[DBCooper]

If you look in the library under mechanical, ventilation, there is a folder called "roof vents" where you should find some that might work for you.
