Multiple Story Building Issue.....
-
I was finishing my layout of the second floor of my model when I discovered a nightmare in the first floor ceiling.
See pick below. This is my first time making a two story building.This obviously happened after I did a push/pull operation for the rooms upstairs. I did not double the face separating the two floors. When I tried to heal the holes by making lines and then deleting them, the ceiling was clean again but my walls upstairs were gone. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance.

I think you identified the problem and the fix. You need to make a ceiling and a floor. If the ceiling in your house had no thickness, you'd see the bottom of the walls above, too.
If I were drawing that, I would make each floor up to and including the ceiling. The next floor up would be an appropriate distance from the lower one and be drawn up to and including that floor's ceiling. And so on to the roof.

Thanks Dave!
I remembered back when I started working on the second floor. I had every intention on making a double face for the floor and ceiling but when I did a push/pull on the face, it was still only one face and it was raised up from the crown molding. So I stuck with the one face. I was thinking push/pull automatically makes two faces for some reason. I remember reading about this issue but forgot where. -
Ok I fixed it! I remember now that I have to press the control button while using push/pull to get the two faces. I'm back in business.

looks to me like you're missing some floor joists or trusses...

When I do something similar, I always group the base of the building then the walls of the first floor in a separate group then again, the ceiling of it (which is then the floor of the next storey) into a separate group etc...
After this you can put everything on a separate layer and create scenes to be able to work on everything conveniently.
Instead of groups, you can of course use components (and have better control of what you are doing)
