Help with Ceiling Heights

[dabecks4]

I have done a drawing and I am in the final stages of the drawing 4600 sq ft house.  Hours of work.

 

All of the sudden, the ceiling heights have changed, and they did not all change to the same heights.

 

I am using Chief Architect Home Designer Pro 2025.

 

I can try to change the ceiling heights but some of the ceiling heights stay changed.  Some revert back to the previous height, and some change to something different.

 

My finished ceiling height is supposed to be 107 5/8".

I can change 1 room to 107 5/8 and it stays.

A 2nd room will be at 94 1/8" and I try to change it and it will not accept the change.

A 3^rd room will be at 97 7/8" and I change it to 107 5/8 and after the change that room will be 107 3/4".

 

When I started the drawing, I drew the first floor outline.  I set the ceiling height at 107 5/8" for the entire plan.

 

 

I also notice that the wrench icon for the default settings.  I notice that some of the measurements have the red check mark and some do not.

 

I have looked trying to find the default setting for ceilings.  It is not in the Floors and Rooms portion of the default settings.

Chief may work differently that HD but, do you have rooms overtop of the offending rooms that have different ceiling heights? In other words, you have a vaulted great room but upstairs a bedroom wall accidently snuck over top of the great room, that cantilever will through off the ceiling height below.

Hard to help without a plan file, but here are some notes:

1. The red check mark indicates the default value is selected in the adjacent box.
2. The ceiling elevation defaults are in Room Specification> Structure tab.
3. The floor and ceiling elevations of a room are affected by those of the room(s) directly below and above.
4. Common solutions are to delete the foundation and/or align the walls of the room with those directly above and below.

This is an area of CA where I think users should seek a little training; along with roofs, foundations, and default sets. It helped me back in the day.
