Issue with Stairwell and Ceiling Planes

Hello Everyone - Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer.

 

Admittedly, I am a novice with Home Designer Pro, so I apologize if there is an easy solution to this.  I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting, but can't, for the life of me, figure out this seemingly simple fix.

 

I'm currently mocking up the house my wife and I just bought so that we can plan any renovations and design choices we decide to make.  In recreating the gambrel style ceiling in the living room, I've noticed that it seems to be interacting poorly with the stairwell that leads down to the bottom floor.  Namely, for some reason, the ceiling stops at the stairwell, leaving a wide open space above, and none of the stairwell settings I toy with seem to enable it to share friendly space with my ceiling (SEE EXAMPLE 1). 

 

I suspect it has something to do with the height of the railings (SEE EXAMPLE 2) but I can't seem to figure out a way to adjust that either.  Quite the lose-lose day for me!  If anyone can offer any insight into the situation, I'd very much appreciate it.  I can also upload my file if needed for further research - just don't judge too harshly as this is NOT meant to be a construction document, and is for interior reference only.

 

Thank you again, everyone!

I haven't put it in yet, as the ceiling has a different shape from the roof.

 

The ceiling is gambrel while the roof is gable.  If I put the roof on first, should that solve the issue?
