Floor thickness being ignored?
Hi all.

I'm slowly working my way through the merge of multiple floors into a single model. For context, the garage floor is sunk almost 3' below the first floor, but both of these levels share the same ceiling - the bottom of the second story floor.

While I have thickness applied to my level 1 and level 2 floors, I'm seeing some odd behavior that makes me wonder if I'm setting it correctly. Namely, I can see the very tops of my first floor walls while looking at the 3D view from the second floor. Since the first floor walls end at the bottom of the 14.5" second floor... why would this be?

Since I don't have a photo server account anywhere to link an uploaded screenshot, I'll copy the "Modify level" info here for reference:

Name / Elevation / Floor Thickness / Height
Level 2 / 9' / 1'2.5" / 8'
Level 1 / 0' / 1'2.5" / 9'
Level 0 / -2'7.25" / / 11'7.25"

What did I miss?

Thanks!
