or you need to break it at each interior wall?

I have heard it both ways. I believe most of the guides recommend that you draw the partitions walls up to the ceiling, but not above. However I have also heard you can draw the partition walls above the ceiling line by 6", but that you should draw the ceiling passing continuously through the partition. Not sure where I read that one. Drawing partition walls up to but not past the ceiling seems the safest rule to me.

Both of the following will work:

1. Draw the partitions walls up to the ceiling.
2. Draw the partition walls above the ceiling line by 6", but that you should NOT draw the ceiling passing continuously through the partition.

so in a space with 2 walls one needs to draw 3 separate finish ceiling lines?
that does not go through right?

Yes, you need to draw 3 separate finish ceiling lines if you draw the partition walls above the ceiling line by 6".

If you draw the partitions walls touching the ceiling, then you should draw the ceiling continuously over the interior partitions.

BTW, that is also the way you build the ceilings in real world.

I didn't realize you could not pass the ceiling line through the partitions (I just drew them up TO the ceiling so didn't have an issue). Apologies for the bad advice and thanks for chiming in.

You may draw the ceiling through non-rated partitions.
