Ceiling heights

[winterdd]

Howdy guys, question on different ceiling heights. In my default settings the first and second levels are set at 9'-0" ceilings. However in the middle wing of the home they want 10' ceilings. Not so much a problem on doing that. However, every time I reopen the file to continue working on the home the 10' section always goes back to 9' and I have had to select the spaces and manually change the settings back under the structure tab. It is getting old very fast. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Pic below, the second floor sits directly above the 10' section so you can imagine the floors sink down when the bottom floor ceiling reverts back to 9'. I don't want to keep changing it just to get by. I'd like to learn the correct way. Thanks.

For things to work with a built 2-story plan then wanting to raise ceiling of part (or all) of floor 1, edit the rooms of floor 2 to perform the raise, then go to 1 and do what's necessary.

 

Is this the tray ceiling job?  Why not post the plan?

Thanks Gene, good catch but no this is a seperate similar home. I am going to check into the 2nd floor defaults like you mention. That makes good sense. As far as attaching plan files, what's the easiest way? Link to a cloud server?

When I stopped to really think about it, I realized I was working the software against itself. The highlighted portion is the second floor over the bottom. I had the entire rear porch at 9'. When I changed the portion of the rear porch below the second floor to 10' it seemed to save changes throughout. Man, talk about a headache.............we shall see.
