mthrift Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Good morning, I have a 2/12 pitch cathedral ceiling with a 3.5/12 pitch roof above. The client wants exposed ceiling truss/beams similar to picture attached. I have found the roof and ceiling beam option but don't see an option to pitch the ceiling beam or to change the pitch of the roof beam. I was thinking change the roof pitch to 2, build the beam and then change roof back to 3.5 but am wondering if there is an easier option? Thanks in advance, Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I created my faux rafters on a 2.25:12 displayed only the elements I wanted to see in Perspective Overview, created a symbol, Redrew the roof planes @5:12, pasted the symbol into position.

rlackore Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Here's an option: 1. Temporarily change the roof pitch to the ceiling pitch. Place and position a Soffit, open the Soffit Specification dbx and check General>Options>Sloped Soffit and General>Options>Place Under Roof. 2. Return the roof to it's original pitch. Now you have a soffit that follows the ceiling pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenoeightspot Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Instead of adjusting the roof open the ceiling plane DBX copy the top and bottom ht. then open Soffit DBX and enter those numbers. Use " Lower roof temp." method to get a Roof beam to show at the lower ceiling slope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a better method - less chance of inadvertently messing up the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL-inc Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Another option is to create a symbol and insert it in the plan. Can be made from P-line solids or moldings. Would probably get you closer to the image in the picture. Then it can be edited in this plan or stored for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
