Tray Ceiling Issue

Hey guys, any tips on why this is happening and the tray won't generate? It worked yesterday lol.

Probably really easy to figure out with a plan.   

 

Without, I would look for anything that can cause a floor/ceiling change, such as floor/ceiling heights or structure changes.  This causes the program to build them separately and the tray ceiling doesn't like to span these breaks.  One thing I like to try is to select all of the rooms involved and then look for anything that is marked as "no change" in the room dialog.  Another thing you can do is use the match properties tool to see if all the rooms next to you actually have the same properties.

Yes sir, already done a few of those to no prevail. It seemed to happen when I reframed the ceiling joists for it. I particularly don't use CA generated tray framing and do my own so I am investigating that.

do you have a 2nd floor over that room, if so then you need to not recess it into the ceiling.

Nope, no second floor. It's weird cause all the rooms match in heights and stuff. There are 3 good trays and 1 bad one. Makes no sense.
