Which side by side room determine wall height

     I have two rooms side by side. One room has a plate height of 8'-1 1/8" and the other is 9'-1 1/8". Cheif built the wall height between the rooms at 8'-1 1/8". Is there a way/setting that would build this wall at the 9'-1 1/8" instead of manually changing the wall height in an elevation view? In a normal construction practice, the walls would be built to the height of the higher room (9'-1 1/8"). I'm thinking if there is a better way than manually changing the height, then one should do so. From time to time, I've run into "issues" when manually changing the wall plate heights and would like to avoid that if possible.

In normal situations, I think the room with the taller ceiling will always determine the wall height.  The most obvious reason why this doesn't work is when you have already manually edited the wall height.  You can open up the wall dialog and then check the option for "default wall height" and all should be good again.  I think there are more complex cases where this may work different but you would probably have to post the plan to get more help.
