I used to make this mistake a lot and wondered why the program changes all the ceiling height for the entire floor. If you adjust ceiling heights don't forget to close off your room by way of invisible walls so you get room definition. That way I can cut a hole in it to make a coffered ceiling and add crown molding etc. While you can adjust the ceiling height and/or draw a ceiling plane I usually take the sloppy route and just draw in a p-solid.
Any ideas on how to this from all you experts? I would like to post the model, but I cannot do without his permission. With a room above this room, and a room below, HOW! When I change "E" or "F", Floor Above "A" moves, even with default checked (becomes unchecked once you modify any height) He wants to lower this ceiling 12" now so he can tray it. In his family room it steps down 16", giving a ceiling height of 137.125". His default ceiling height (first floor) is 10' (121.125"). My client bought CA to design his own house and got way to deep into before he ended up hiring me to clean, fix and finalize his model. Why should the stem wall height be automatically changed if I raise the floor, but fixed if I lower the floor? Why would Chief assume this? This is just counterintuitive, not typical building practice, and wasn't this way until a couple of versions ago. But the point is that I almost always want the stem wall to change I seldom want the footing elevation to change, unless I explicitly request this. How does Chief know when you do and don't want to actually change the stem wall height? When you change the floor back to zero, you also need to control the stem wall height by manually changing it back to 18", or check default if that is 18". ie, the stem wall remains 24" high and drops 6" with the floor. Then, when you change the floor height back to zero, the stem wall height remains at 24", therefore it is lower than originally by 6". When you raise the floor 6", the stem wall increases in height to 24" (the default 18" + the 6"), because you haven't told Chief to do anything else, the footing stays where it is and the stem wall increases in height to 24".
