Help - ceiling thickness
Hi there.
I'm using Home Designer Suite 2014
I'm afraid I'm new at this, so am stuck on some probably quite obvious things.
I have some floor and ceiling heights for a two storey building - measured from the real thing.
Ground floor at 0
Ceiling at 2080 mm
Floor above 2240 mm
Ceiling of upper storey 4610mm
I am trying to enter these into room specifications, but absolutely cannot.
The settings seem to keep changing themselves so that this combination is impossible.
When I change Ceiling (B) to 2080, Floor Above (A) changes to 2398
I think it might be because the Ceiling structure and floor structure settings cannot be changed, and these may reflect the thickness of the gap between ceiling and floor above.
If so, how do I change these?
Thanks for any help you can give.

hmm I don't think you can change the floor/ceiling structure in Home Designer Suite. you may be able to adjust the floor and ceiling finish thickness to make the overall thickness you want but the framing will remain the same.
Default Settings> Floor
Structure tabLamina

Make those settings in "Edit - Default Settings - Floor" first and then in local roof dialog boxes as you create them, they will be preset to what you have programmed "Default Settings" to be.

It is part of learning how the software works and does not work.
