Help - Ceiling thickness

[ranma500]

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.

this forum is aimed at users of Chief Premier

while HD product users are welcome here

you will probably get better replies on the hometalk forum which is dedicated to HD users

HD Suite is fairly limited in its settings and doesn't offer manual overrides
you need HD PRO to have manual override features

but someone on the Hometalk forum may have a solution or work-around ???

Paul, try going to the 2nd. floor to change the ceiling height below. That should work and hold...at least it will in our versions.

Tommy is correct, if the ceiling hts are greyed out, it is a clue that there is a floor above that is defining the ceiling ht below.
