How to create roof/ceiling line
Any suggestions for the best way to create this roof line?

That looks like just a dropped ceiling. Make it out of a ceiling plane or polyline solid.

Hi Dennis,
I did it with a combination of polyline solids. First, raise the ceiling to the correct height. Then, in section view, build a poly solid the shape of the crazy ceiling. In plan, Copy it to form the three solid sections. Then copy it and modify to form bottom of skylight. Repeat for top of skylight. Move into position and voila.Doug Maddox

Doug - That's one way. Thanks for the effort. I'm thinking that that is not the BEST way.
I am not having luck with the ceiling plane(s) and having skylight shafts build through. I tried
a PS for the flat part and a ceiling plane for the sloped section but it does not recognize the skylight.
Trusses? Doing mostly kitchens and baths and an addition on occasion I am not well versed
in trusses or customizing them. ;o(Dennis Gavin CR, CKBR
