chief58 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 do you have room definition walls around the area you want to raise the ceiling in if not you will be doing it for the whole plan, once you put the room defintion walls in name the room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori123 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 room definition walls? I put a room divider in for that room but it still changes the whole plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You should probably attach the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief58 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 if you can't select the area you want to raise and name it then there is no room definition, do as Michael says and post the plan and we can help you seeing your plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori123 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Oh I did post the plan maybe its not showing I'll try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 No...the actual Chief file, not pics. When you placed the room dividers did you name the kitchen? I don't see on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I can tell from looking at the picture that your staircase is installed incorrectly. It's backwards, and if it is meant to come from a basement below you should take a section through it, because I am almost certain it will not meet the 80" headroom requirement.

Evolution Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I was told by a user on the forum, the best way to do this is to make the room you wish to have the higher ceiling a two story (I assume using the KB for doing a cape cod style) making the second floor open below, setting the wall heights to achieve the over-all ceiling height you want (12') that way your exterior finishes will not be interrupted (causing quirky unfinished appearing siding etc). I know, this sounds crazy to me, and I haven't actually done this so I am not sure if it works at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamlinBC Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Lori, How are you trying to change the ceiling height?...through the Default Settings, or double clicking in the individual room? If you change through the default settings, then it will change the whole plan. If you double click the individual room then it will change only that room. Also, make sure that the room dividers are forming an actual closed room. Sometimes those little buggers can be tricky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori123 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 that's what I was doing I was able to change by double clicking in the actual room, your right the room dividers are buggers to work with, now I have to put some walls back in thank you!

Lori123 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 however the ceiling is still flat I need it to be V shaped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamlinBC Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Ceiling planes work similar to roofs, you have to set the baseline and then click to set the ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Sounds like a call-in on NPR's Car Talk, where the brothers are trying to draw out enough information to solve the problem, and when they are getting a little tiny bit of a view of the issue, the owner says, "oh, I forgot to tell you it's a diesel."
