Hello, I am new to Chief Architect and I am having an issue with the height of four walls. I have tried deleting and rebuilding them but the problem remains. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wall heights are usually set based on floor/ceiling heights in the room dialog but you can override any of them by editing the height directly in a camera view.  So this is probably either a room problem or a wall problem.

 

You can usually fix both by using the "reset to defaults" tool.  Just select floor/ceiling heights and wall tops/bottoms for "all floors" and they should all be set back to the defaults.  

 

If that doesn't work, then you might want to post the plan so someone can poke around in it.  It could have to do with the floor/ceiling structure or maybe even something else.

Howdy Scott,

 

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.

If your plan is too big to attach, you could try creating a compressed .zip file to see if that will work.  If it is still too big, you could try removing things that don't have anything to do with the problem (like fixtures and furniture) and doing a "save as" to a new file and then zipping that.  If it is still to big, you could post it to a shareable online location (like dropbox or whatever) and then post the link.
