False rendering of inclined walls

[jazer]

Hi,

when I use inclined walls the renderer generates false views. See screenshots.

When I just use a standard wall, everything seems ok.

I'm using the latest 5.1, I had also the same problem with 5.0.

Regards,

These are some ceilings of rooms that are wrongly computed. As explained in the help, the height at each point of a ceiling is equal to the height of the nearest wall end. If you added some smaller walls in your plan, this could provoke the effect you reported, because the program is trying to compute some kind of sloping ceiling.
The fastest way to fix this issue is to select all, choose Plan > Modify rooms menu item and unselect Display ceiling check box. But this correction won't display ceilings anymore and from the point of view of a virtual visitor, it's not nice because you will see the sky instead of the ceilings.
A better way to fix this issue is to move rooms points away from the ends of small walls and ensure these points are closer to the ends of higher walls. You could also draw point by point your rooms to ensure their points are at the right position.

Hi, I've created a simple room with a sloped ceiling at one end of the room to imitate a basic loft conversion. As you can see from the screenshots, within the virtual view, the sloped ceiling does not represent what was drawn. Is this the same issue as above or a different one, if so is there a solution? Thanks
