Tutorial sloping roofs and ceilings

Post by live »

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.

Code: Select all

6 - Click the Create rooms button and draw a room from coordinates 5,5 to 600,495. 
Use Plan → 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

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.
