Differing Ceiling heights between rooms

I have two rooms separated by a railing, both of which have a lowered ceiling. (This is in a commercial leased space, so the real ceiling is a 17'8" concrete slab.) In room A the ceiling is higher than room B. When standing in room A looking into room B, I need to have a wall that starts at the ceiling of room B and reaches to the ceiling of room A. (Obviously it will actually go to the upper deck...it will be steel studs. But for right now I just need to model it for interior design purposes.) How do I do that?


Thanks!

You could use a polyline solid, drawn in elevation view, make it the same thickness as your wall, and the same color.

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed.

Or a regular wall with a really wide doorway with casing suppressed?

I thought about that, but I need to half the half railing _and_ a doorway, i.e. an L-shaped opening in the wall. See attached.

How soon we forget our old friend "The Soffit"..
Even made for ceiling use..

I tried that too, but the soffit tool wants to place them below the ceiling in a give room, and in this case I need them to be above the ceiling, i.e. from the ceiling up to the height of the adjoining ceiling.

Drag it up in elevation..Or open it and change the height..

Ah, didn't think of that. I'll try that too. Is their any advantage to soffits versus solid polylines? Will chief architect generate framing for soffits?

No. X-1 will however frame the lowered ceiling (check box for frame lowered ceiling)and if I want the vertical part to frame I use a wall moved up in elevation.
