Scott, nice exploration and demonstration of how things that are turned off still influence the way the model is constructed.
Regarding making the tower have a room def or not, it reminds me of the window trim thing in that if you specify the tower as a room, with open below, Chief still messes it up unless you raise the floor height to where you want the ceiling, basically. With "open below" specified, the floor should not be an issue, but it is. Just like if you have window trim turned off, sometimes you need to have the trim size set to 0 AND turned off.
Thanks!Kind Regards,
Dave Pitman

I wonder how you went about to model it, I wondered if creating new walls would have been easier...

Great video Scott and I'm pretty sure you covered every permutation of Chief's walls and wall defs etc. Nice job and very informative.
As good as the video was, in my mind you made a great case for just adding a 'node' or break point, adjusting the wall and moving on. Also a great case for how Chief should work a little more intuitively, or maybe automatically is a better term in this case. Great to know the ins and out of Chief but would better to not have to spend 30 minutes trying to get a simple wall to display the way it should with a simple setting.The purpose of Government is to control the common resources, not the common man.

Thanks so much for investigating this so thoroughly. I am time crunched now and may not get to watch until weekend, but am very interested in learning how to build smarter to get desired result.
