How do I coffer a barrel ceiling

[mctabish]

In a bath room I am designing, I have the tub in its own little alcove.

I want to barrel and coffer the central area of the alcove.It is actually a barreled ceiling with two flat "ears", one on each end (also coffered I have the barrel done the way I want, but not sure how to coffer.

 

Thanks

Without actually seeing what you are speaking of, I would use  custom poly-line solid created in the desired shape, then apply the material of your choice to the result.

You know David,  I forgot who suggested it,  but a 3d molding polyline drawn in section along with an arched opening at each end of the barrel vaulted hallway was a cool solution for a barrel vaulted hallway.

 

You just suggested a PSOLID I assume drawn in elevation will not address the coffered ceiling.

 

For this particular application,  I may build the entire thing out of ceiling planes.  IOW,  the ceiling planes would be used to build the arch over the tub and then the use ceiling planes over the ears to create the coffer.

 

JC might suggest making out of psolids turned into solids and manipulated with boolean .......   I forgot how to refer to the boolean things.
