How do you guys build 2 floor foyers?
Hi everyone I love the look of a 2 floor foyer where you walk in the house and there is a beautiful wide open space where the ceiling is 2 floors high and the staircase goes up and looks high. I ha...

This is how I'd do it; and how I think @Momma_Jibi does it too.
1) Draw the wall separating the upstairs hall and the open space from the upstairs bedrooms.
2) Draw the fence that divides the upstairs hall from the open space over the foyer. This means you actually have two "rooms" upstairs: one is the upstairs hall, and one is the space over the foyer.
3) Delete the floor of the room over the foyer. Its ceiling should remain.
4) Place your stair. You do NOT have to delete any portion of the fence to do this: the fence at the top of the stair will disappear when you place the stair and reappear when you remove the stair.
You do not have to do anything to the downstairs foyer room other than place the stair there. If an upstairs room above it is set to have no floor, anything directly beneath it will seem to have no ceiling.
This method also allows you to keep the ceiling over the marked space.
