GeneDavis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I've got cathedral ceiling and the 2x8 rafters hang from hips and valleys that are paired 2x10s. With the hip and valley members protruding through the ceiling finish, I want to wrap them in painted 3/4" boards. Molding polylines work readily when the beams are horizontal, but what about this condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If you don't need much detail a soffit might be the quickest thing for a cover. Sloped and Placed under Roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It's your hips and valleys which Chief calls ridges unfortunately , just reduce the size to what the rafters are and they won't show. This error in programming has been around forever. or thicken your rafters to fit. we really need separate controls for each sorry I thought you wanted them to not show for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 3 minutes ago, solver said: I copied in pace the rafter, then increased its height by 3/4" and its width by 3". Gave it a color so you could see. Nice Solution E. if you want the decorative beam look rather than Drywall like P. mentioned.... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thanks, E. I had just done 3D molding polylines, using CAD in close-cropped sections to estimate heights needed at start and finish. Yours is better because tracking is precise. EXCEPT! I would like to get a clean line showing in 3D where the ceiling finish is intersected by the molding. Here's what I found when trying to work with the 3D molding. One can set it with specification, but one cannot then use a move tool to tweak its height in 3D space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can fix that by incrementally moving the molding down until a line shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Cut a section perpendicular to your hip and very close to hip and then you can apply a moulding line(use cad line and make parallel to roof plane). you can centre it in plan view then. only thing you have to do then is vertical(-3/4") and horizontal(-2 1/4") offsets.
