Floor and wall gap
I made a test drawing of a one story house to re-learn how to use levels, walls and floors,because its seems i did not understand them.

Why is there an unexpected 1-inch gap between the 7" thick floor/ceiling and the top of the walls of the first story in this test?

Background
Using SW3D 7.02 with ubuntu 18.04
Test drawing has 5 levels.
Level 1 is a sub-ground level for a concrete foundation wall.
Level 2 is a specifically for a 4" concrete slab floor, so the top of slab is at ground level.
Level 3 is 8" high to be the concrete foundation wall above ground.
Level 4 has the walls for the first story, which together with level 3 is 96" high (8 feet, floor to ceiling).
Level 5 has the joists for the ceiling of the first story and is 7" thick. It is called Mezzanine and the room that represents the floor has a gap above the walls even though the measures of the levels and walls should have closed that gap.

I added an inch to the wall on the left (x=0.0 y=0.0 to x=0.0 y=30)
and that is why it has no gap.

I will share the .sh3d file if you tell me how.
