Re: Draw False Ceiling
That cube you want to draw with all angles IS the floor (room). You can draw a room by hand by moving and adding points. If you draw a 'cube' you need to export/import it too to clean it up with nice material names. Exporting a room is the same. The only consideration is that you have to have a thickness. A room at level 0 without a level below doesn't have a thickness. And you have to switch of the ceiling display. Still very easy since you can create the shape using walls and fill it in with a room. Much easier than drawing by hand, especially when you need curves.

If you want the ceiling a little scaled down from the room you can use the scale function that comes with the Advanced Edit plugin.

Another nice trick to have the ceiling a little smaller than the room is to make the walls around the room thicker and then double click to fill in a room for export. Then reset the walls to their previous thickness.

Remember, a square room exported IS a kind of cube. Both are objects with eight corners and only differ in the name they are given. After export you can rename the room 'cube' or 'box' if you wanted to.
