attic renovation - inclined ceilings/roof with windows

Post by Leopold »

For an attic renovation project, I am wondering if there were any way to make ceilings that are not horizontal but inclined like the inner side of a roof with windows etc.
If not, are there any plans to add this feature to this so far fabulous programme?

thanks for any hints / answers

Inclined ceiling is already supported partly.
As explained in the help:
The height of the ceiling of a room is computed at each point of the room, and the height at each of these points is equal to the height of the closest start or end point of a wall. This allows to create the ceiling of a garret when you set different heights at the start and end points of sloping walls.

See the attached file to this message for an example.

Thank you for the fast answer and the file explaining how this then looks like.
I have tried this method out now but I fear that my project is just a bit too complicated since I have some only 1.4 m high walls separating e.g. kitchen from living room and of course, the programme then tries to attach the "ceiling" also to this wall. Similar with openings which are just openings without doors - the ceiling does now like this it seems.

Could you envisage an option where you could just add some key ceiling fixing points on some walls?

Thanks again for the very nice programme and the good work!

The current system that computes automatically the elevation of ceiling is probably the easiest for most uses, but isn't the best system. I'll try to improve it in future versions.
