Thanks for your replies. There is no option to turn it off in the upper cabinets in Architectural. But I'm loving the soffit idea, I will try that out. If that doesn't work, I could probably take it into photoshop and touch up those spots too.
Thanks for catching me on that desk height, the book I was reading suggested 24" to the base of the countertop, but I just measured my own desk and it is more like 27, and I'm short!
