How to make openings in the ceiling(cathedral ceilings) and floor?

[sweethome3Daddict]

Hi, I'm completeley new to Sweet Home 3D, so I don't understand all the features yet. I am creating a multi-level home, and since you can't actually create a multi-level home I was just going to create each level on a different document and then have one document showing the entire outside of the building. However, my home has cathedral ceilings in some parts, and I'd like to be able to make a hole in the ceilings to show this, any way I could do this? [:-/] I also would like to make a hole in the floor, as it is three levels, and a staircase needs to be able to go "downstairs", even though the actual downstairs is on a different document. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you! [:)]

Viktoria,

There are several tutorials on this page that may interest you:
- multi-level house (PDF)
- sloping ceilings & roofs (PDF)

And finally one that hasn't been published yet:
- tips & tricks (PDF) which explains (amongst other things) how to make a hole in a ceiling/floor.

Thank you very much! I must say though, those instructions in the PDFs are really complicated... haha I wish there was an easier way to do it.

Viktoria,

There is! Let someone else do it for you!
Just ask for a quote [:)]

These documents are nice workarounds for missing features in Sweet Home 3D. But who knows? Maybe one day, similar features may appear in Sweet Home 3D. [;)]
