shelf ceiling does not work in basement?

[SHCanada2]

I noticed on the main floor it works, and changes the absolute elevation. but on the basement it leaves the absolute elevation and shows the walls to the ceiling. And if I change the absolute elevation manually, well it changes the whole floor even though I did not change the other room next to it. Any ideas?

for future users, one has to check the "shelf ceiling" PRIOR to changing the relative ceiling height to make it work

 

Me thinks the documentation needs to document this behaviour

 

Documentation:

• Check Shelf Ceiling to prevent Attic Walls from generating over the interior walls that define the selected room. When unchecked, interior Attic Walls will generate if surrounding rooms have higher ceilings than the selected room. See Shelf Ceilings.

and then when I try and change the 60" I have to 48", it changed it to 81" and then I retype in 48, and it changes it to 60". around and around it goes

and to make matters worse, if I delete that room and draw another in the same place, CA remembers the settings. So then I draw a new room off to the side and set the relative height to 48 (instead of 60) and then move the wall over (expanding the room) and CA sets it back to 60. Is there a way to make CA "forget" the last room settings that were drawn in a specific location?

I had this happen to me before too. Just changing your floor height in the basement back to -118 5/8" should fix you up (you will need to put the 60" ceiling ht again, but the -118 5/8 should stick).

 

I noticed that even a change in the floor finish didn't 'erase' when I deleted the walls and then started over. I'm not sure about this room memory thing that Chief has.
