    Open the room dbx and uncheck "Ceiling Over This Room" in the Structure tab. This will put your "ceiling" at the bottom of your roof rafters and give you a vaulted room. You can also add custom, sloped ceiling planes under the roof for different kinds of vaulting.

    How do you make an interior 3d view of the vaulted ceiling? My 3d view just shows the sky...

    THANKS!

    Have you put a roof on the building yet? If not then that may be why you are sleeping under the stars.

    since v3.1

    English philosopher Herbert Spencer said, "The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools."

    the ignorance of Ph.D.s is still ignorance and high-IQ groupthink is still groupthink, which is the antithesis of real thinking.

    don't use the floor cameras


    Use a render camera and change the tilt and location off the floor as necessary.
