Building a shop. exterior wall height vs interior wall height
The shop is 36x50 with an exterior wall height of 17'. Inside the shop will have a mezzanine that will extend 16' ft out from the back wall allowing me to have 8ft ceilings below and on top. I am trying to create the walls for the bathroom to an 8ft height. The program keeps making the walls 17' the same height as the exterior walls. How can I change the inside wall height only.
Thanks in advance

It always helps to know which soft-ware version you're using. Have you tried setting the interior room ceiling height by opening its' dbx and setting it there? how exactly did you create the mezzanine?

Sorry That I have not gotten back to your post. I am using Home Designer Suite 6. I am still having the same problem with making interior wall heights different than exterior wall heights.
I ran in to a new problem today . I am tring to build a split level plan.
Question : making one building. How do I make a roof at two different heights. for example a split level home.
In advance Thank you

mezzanine floor
probably you made the wall 17' high and then tried to make 8ft interior walls right? make the 1st floor 8ft , setup your bathroom, then add another 8ft floor on top, turn on reference display and make an invisible wall along the edge of the bathroom wall/area then you can select the area where there should be no floor and on the room dbx specify it as "open below"
here is a KB Article that might help
