custom ceiling

[Eric X1]

can anyone tell me where to look up how to make custom ceilings. i want to make a ceiling that has a soffit around the perimeter 8' plate height and then is vaulted in the middle (up the the ridge).

Hello Eric?

Note: people will answer quicker if you include a signature.

Generic Step one: Select the room, open its dbx, select structure tab and unclick ceiling...,
GS two: Make the room at least as tall as the top of the soffits.
GS three: Use the soffit tool in the cabinet pull down to place soffits on each side of the room.
GS four: use manual ceilings from the roofs pull down to create the vaulted interior.

Practice, as these are not specific keystroke steps. Its easier than you think.

Thanks so much! It worked well, though I'm still fine-tuning.
Good luck on your AIA license!
