Mike,

I'm confused, not getting what you are trying to accomplish here. YOu can set the positive value of the ceiling relative to the floor level below. Isn't this the true height of the finished ceiling?

As Mel indicated, you would set the level of that the ceiling references to the level below it. Align the top ceiling to the top of your walls/level. Tag with indication that it's a "finished" ceiling height.

Alternatively you could setup a spot elevation dimensions to do as you like.

Mel, I guess I didn't 'splain it right.  The
Truss is set on top of a Tower Wall, 26'8" AFF.  When I gave the DW Clg, a
5/8" thickness, and Set the Ht as 26'8" above the Floor, my RCP Tag says
26'8".............a
s shown on the section, the DW
goes up into the Truss.  When I move the DW 'down' 5/8", so as to reflect
how it really should attach to the Bot Chord, the Tag in the RCP now says 25'-11
3/8".  This is what I was asking when I said not being able to add a
"Negative" value to the thickness of the DW Clg Type when I built it.  I'm
trying to get it the attach the "Top Side" of the DW to the Bot of the truss,
AND still read as 26'8".

 

I guess I'm looking at it as working the same as
the View Level for RCP's...In reverse.  The Floors building from the 'Floor
Up",  Ceilings building from the "Top Down"

Mike, if you want the actual ceiling height to be
26'-8" then the top of the wall or plate needs to be 26'-8 5/8". Then when you
add the ceiling it will dispaly correctly.
