    Room wll height question

    In the process of changing a ceiling height setting I now have an undesirable drop in my wall.

    I have looked at both the ELEV and adjacent HALL (shared wall) and cannot figure out what is creating the gap at the ceiling.

    I have included, below, a plan and Framing view to show you what the framing looks like. You can see that the HALL wall is the correct height but the ELEV wall is lower.

    Perhaps I suffer from the "Forest for the trees syndrome" and need someone outside the forest to help me figure out how to correct this.

    Thanks,

    Scott,

    In an elevation camera, left-click on the wall, hit the tab key or next button to select the Wall Poly-Line and then drag the anomalous part of the wall poly-line into the shape you need.
    Done properly, that should return your crown mold and the appearance you want, there is no need to focus on "why" this happened (what setting or other action that caused this), just set it straight.
    Also with Pro you can edit framing as you see fit, it is rare that the software, all on its own gets everything "right", that is what manual tools are for, to give you that level of control, where automaticity falls short.
