Tutorial sloping roofs and ceilings
Re: http://www.sweethome3d.com/slopingCeilingGuide.pdf

In 2 - Sloping ceiling
Isn't it possible to select both long walls to do the operation at once?
If not a mirror options in the menu would be nice, esp. if one has to do it on more that 2 walls.

6 - Click the Create rooms button and draw a room from coordinates 5,5 to 600,495. 
Use Plan â†’ Edit room points to check that your coordinates are exact. This forms the horizontal part of the ceiling.

Can you explain it any another way please, I keep drawing it as a floor not a ceiling.

Thanks

Re: Tutorial sloping roofs and ceilings
If you want to create a sloping roof, you have to draw it in two parts.
1 - the horizontal part,
2 - the sloping part.

Strictly speaking, in this example you are drawing a ceiling, not a roof.
Floors and ceilings are drawn at the same time.
Ceilings can only be seen
- from below - using the virtual visitor
- from above - using the virtual visitor and making a photo.

Well, I don't.
I put a floor in green which I do see.
I tried to put a ceiling in red, but don't see it.
