Manual dormer walls cut through custom ceiling plane

[turbodig]

Hello,

 

I have a plan where I've created a manual shed dormer off the second floor of my plan.  I can't seem to keep the 2nd floor exterior walls of my dormer from hanging below my custom ceiling plane... see red line in attached Jpg.   Is there a way I should be going about this?

 

I get the intended result when I do an auto floating dormer, but I can't use those in this case as the walls of the dormer overlap existing walls.

 

The dormer is set up as a room on the second floor as 'open below'.  

 

I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

 

A somewhat related question, also in the jpg - The front wall of this shed dormer hangs just above the cabinets (this will be done via a beam) - Is there a way to get the bottom of the wall above the cabinets to show as finished?

 

Thanks!

I dunno but try this.

Make this vaulted dormer room from first floor with high ceiling.

 

Ensure room divider under the vaulted ceiling beam and that defines the dormer room

 set the ceiling height up to top plate above those windows you have.

check roof over this room

uncheck flat ceiling & Shelf Ceiling

 

might need to make dormer walls pony walls where lower part is room divider and upper is whatever t needs to be.

 

PLay with it as what you want isnot intuitive but I am pretty sure if you have things created from First floor it will work better.

 

Or manual edit wall in 3d views by clicking it and moving the corners up.

 

I had similar issue with stair case the just barely the bottom made its way into a room at ceiling and program did not want to enclose with walls.

I forget what I did but after while playing I got what I wanted.
