Re: How to do a vaulted and flat ceiling of a single wall

1. To have an vaulted ceiling you must use an arch (with same heights),
or semi-arch with different heights.

2. For an inclinated ceiling (it's not the same thing), you must create your object (from a exported 'box' for example)
or put an inclinated roof which will give an inclinated ceiling...

Look at my given example below.

I hope that I have understood well your ask.

Regards.


Hello and thank you for the replies and for the example design. I have looked at it, and that does help with the roof which I am going to do soon. But in my case I will be using a ceiling and a roof both in the design. Both of these would need to be at a different pitch, the ceiling at a 12/2 pitch, and a roof at 12/6 pitch to simulate a structure with scissor trusses for its roof.

I think I understand how to make the roof, I have found a couple of tutorials for that. But, I am still not sure how to have the ceiling drawn correct for the Virtual Visit feature. I am not sure how the program is drawing the ceiling for the Virtual Visit feature and how it determines the ceiling height. Does it always draw the ceiling at the height of the wall? Again in my design I have a sloped wall, but on one side of that sloped wall I wish to have the ceiling flat and not sloped. I think maybe one way to do it would be to draw in a ceiling as you have done, then draw in a roof above that. Would that be the correct way to do this?

Again, thank you so much for your help.
