Ceiling Planes: 80 Degree Limit!

[alobartn]

Other than manually drawing, has anyone come up with a method to create skylight shafts for angles between 81 and 89 degrees? This seems like a silly limitation, although I'm sure there's a costly reason.

Polyline solids do it for me, but that takes manual work. But ceiling planes are manual, also.

I don't mind using p solids, but I like that ceiling planes frame. It seems odd that they can't be used up to 89.9 degrees. Plus, it's easy to set compound angles with ceiling planes and to join them.

Adam,
try roof planes. You can set up your roof plane just like a ceiling plane (almost). you can't totally zero out the roof surface layer but you can make it 1/16" thick & no material. Framing can be a little funky.
