Independent Floor Heights

[MississippiMims]

I'm having an issue with a small side porch.  In my room settings, I have the porch floors set at -3.5".  Two of my porches worked fine, but this side porch for some reason also drops the hallway floor to -3.5.  When I click on the hallway room and reset my floor to 0", it automatically brings the porch back up to 0".  What would cause them not to work independently?

Without a plan to look at, it's all guesswork. Are the rooms labeled correctly?

The default floor height in a plan file for the majority of first floor rooms should aways be "0" inches (Edit - Default Settings - Floors and Rooms - First Floor). Only exception rooms should be set higher or lower than the default.

I attached the plan.  All of the living area floor heights are set at 0".  I want the porches lowered 3.5" which is standard construction.  David, I guess the porches would be the exception rooms you mentioned.  The two larger porches worked like they were supposed to.  I just can't figure out why the interior hallway and the side porch/stoop keep the same floor setting.

I found lots of incorrect settings, the worst was rooms marked "Floor Supplied by Foundation below" on their "Structure" tabs, this was causing the strange behavior (I never use and almost never use this setting because it is SO Problematic. Take a look at the attached plan file, please.
