Soffit creating unwanted drop-down ceiling

[studiostarrs]

HELP!
I need two soffits on the ceiling which help define the space.
As soon as I connect them, they create a "drop-down" ceiling which I don't want.
I want it too look just like this--only connected.
What am I doing wrong?

Soffits don't create things. Could you post a picture showing what is happening.

In older versions the way one would "face" the soffit objects can cause them to fill in one to the other but I do not think that is now the case but you might try rotating the soffits in plan view 180 degrees to see if that helps at all.

 

I agree with Eric that we need a copy of the plan or at least a picture of the anomaly so we can better understand what actually is happening.
