MarkMc Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Pantry in a corner- cathedral ceiling, single story ranch. Need to be open above pantry-architect wants a platform on top of pantry. Draw as half walls, adjust size and looks fine. But if I add a door and I lose the wall above. Draw as normal walls, turn off auto rebuild, change room definition and structure tab for the pantry to height I want but walls take on the other room height. Someone know how please I've played with what I know to no avail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkMc Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks-Rails or walls for pantry? what for walls upstairs? Tried a few things- not the sharpest tool.. Got two walls good, third with exposed framing instead of rock, holes in cieling, roof and exterior walls- resorted to p-solid for now, only needs to look right really but want to figure it out- will go to old forum after I get it price up. Didn't think you'd be around, aren't the big guns about to tee off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Had an appointment, yeah they teed off, make the walls at floor above pantry invisible, (normal walls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What is the dsh law? Yes, the dsh law, if you have a one story house, have two floors, if you have a two story house, have three floors. In your case you have a one story house, add that second floor, put a new floor above your pantry, make the walls invisible, now you have the pot/shelf blah bah..... whatever you call it, above the pantry.

dshall Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 And do yourself a HUGE HUGE HUGE favor, go to 3D<3D VIEW DEFAULTS<OPTIONS and check the AUTO REBUILD WALLS/FLOORS/CEILINGS, this will auto rebuild the structure every time you make a change so if you look at it in d you will see the changes take effect immediately without remembering to have to hit the F12 key.

Kbird1 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So Scott , you always make an extra floor even if unused ? (0" finished ceiling I presume?) care to elaborate pls... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So Scott , you always make an extra floor even if unused ? (0" finished ceiling I presume?) care to elaborate pls... M. 0" does not equal finished floor, 0" = ground floor elevations. Downside to have an additional floor is none. Upside to having an additional floor is you can have WALLS DEFINED AS ROOM DEFINITION, IOW, you can have a ROOM above the floor. You can NEVER have a ROOM on the attic level. There are times when I want a ROOM above first floor. Try to put a ROOM on ATTIC LEVEL, you can not have a ROOM on the attic level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
