kn8hansen Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi all, When I try to lower the ceiling height on the porch that has a cantilever above it, the floor in the cantilevered room comes down as well. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? Plan attached for reference. Also, this is my first time attaching a plan. I did the "Backup entire plan" option in Chief Architect and this got me a folder with 23MB of files in it. Is this the best way to do it or is there a better way that'll shrink the file size down? Thanks in advance! Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn8hansen Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hmmm..... no file attached. Let's try this again.... PLAN.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just attach the plan is ok for this problem, and no plan attached. To take a stab at it, is your auto framing all turned on? Try to reset the floor height above to what you want and it should be correct then, by lowering the ceiling below you are also lowering the 2nd floor height. Try to make a habit of working from the top floor down in Chief, just the opposite of what you might think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn8hansen Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've got the RCH in the 2nd-story cantilevered room set at 8' and the RCH of the main level set at 9'. It seems that whenever I change the cantilevered room, it changes the porch and vice-versa. I'm looking for a lower ceiling on the porch than in the house while still keeping the exposed porch beams.

kn8hansen Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Ah, I see. You sectioned off the cantilevered area and added to the floor structure to make up the difference? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh and P. I think you still have a Booboo BooBoo1.JPG For that, just adjust the floor structure, "opening-no material" to reduce that space by a few inches so they will line up.

Kbird1 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I didn't play with it my self much yest. the porch has no ceiling structure (eg 2x6) and I was surprised to see the floor structure includes 22" TJI's .. , I was think just use a Custon Ceiling plan actually.
