Vaulted Ceiling - 9' wall below
I'm a newb...so, be kind.
I have a 3/12 vaulted ceiling that vaults over a 9' tall wall. This wall divides the master bedroom from the master bath. The wall is 9' tall...open above to the vaulted ceiling. The ceiling above the wall is about 14'...give or take. I have the two ceiling planes connected...but, there seems to be an attic wall built - that I don't want. My ceiling plane has a wall size hole in it...which may have been created when I deleted the attic wall. Honestly...I'm not sure why the hole is there.
Do I have to use a "half wall" and change the height to 9'? Or...is there some other way to accomplish this.
Any suggestions?Nestor

Sounds like the attic wall was created because the master bath has a flat ceiling (at 9') while your master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling starting at 9' on the bearing sides of the vaults. Is this correct or am I missing something. To me it sounds like the attic wall belongs there but without more information I am just guessing. If my guess is correct, you shouldn't be deleting the attic wall built to separate the two rooms at the attic level.
Is your master bath to have a vaulted ceiling as well? Can you post some images showing the problem?Curt Johnson

I have never owned a Mac before...so, just about everything right now is an adventure. (to say the least...)Nestor

So...I thought I'd get a simple answer to this question, but it must be more difficult than I thought. I have a master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling. This vaulted ceiling continues over the master bath room. There is a 9' tall wall with a door that divides the two rooms with a swing door. I want this wall to be open above 9' to the vaulted ceiling.
Every time I draw the wall on the 1st floor plan (using an interior-4 wall type) an attic wall is created. I don't want this attic wall. I try to delete it but I get a statement that it is an automatically generated wall...blah, blah. Is there a way to control automatically generated walls? Also..I did make the attic wall invisible. However, I was left with a 4.5" gap in the ceiling plane where the wall once existed.
Anyway...isn't there a simple way to accomplish this?
I have searched the forum using keywords "attic", "vault", "ceiling"...and others. If this topic has been discussed "ad nauseam"...I can't find it. Also, searched "Chief Tutor" and Scott Halls videos...could not find specifically what I was looking for. Maybe Scott has a video...if so, point me to it.
Maybe I need to build the roof first? I'm a newb...so, I'm just pecking along trying to figure things out. Also...I don't know how to post the plan...so, if someone can tell me how to do that.
I think there should be a section in this forum just for us newbs...so we don't fill up the general question area with our basic questions. Just a thought...Nestor

Well...with perseverance and pure luck I got the wall dividing the bath and bedroom fixed. The wall in the attic is set to be invisible and has a zero width. So...why is there a 4.5" gap in my ceiling drywall plane?
Uhh...can anyone tell me how to get rid of the siding that is showing thru also. The wall with the siding is a second floor exterior wall that is common with this vaulted ceiling. I know I've seen videos on this...so, if someone can point me to that I'll go look and learn.
Also, I'm using a iMac...so, ALT+Q does not work for me. Where is the "auto rebuild" function in the menus...is it in the wall DBX?
