SMC2992 5 Posted November 9, 2020 Hi Expert friends I have recently faced a problem, I sketched a couple of rooms and have drawn false ceiling using tray ceiling tool in x12, due to some reasons i had to add a new story over the building. As it was done it showed me triangle highlighting some problem in every room, when i clicked that triangle it read (failed to construct a tray ceiling, cannot recess a tray ceiling into a rooms floor platform, Enter turnoff Recess into the ceiling option or choose a location that is not below another room) Can anyone help me to tackle this issue. I have attached a picture of sample problem please see the drop, framing is visible. Secondly can we use this tray ceiling to make a drop down ceiling instead of recessed one? Thanks in advance 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alaskan_Son 2466 Posted November 9, 2020 The answer to your question is right there in that pop up message you got when you clicked on the triangle. Open the Trey Ceiling and 3 minutes ago, SMC2992 said: turnoff Recess into the ceiling option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeneDavis 134 Posted November 9, 2020 I'm trying to imagine this done with floor framing. Really trying. Wouldn't soffits be the way to build this in the field? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMC2992 5 Posted November 9, 2020 I have temporarily sorted the issue, I was using 6" depth, Now I have used 6" depth which has removed this glitch. I don't know why it is done but now it is ok Thanks to all of you the reply of second part of my question is still awaited, Maybe Chief people can help?

Captain_Kurt 0 Posted December 29, 2020 I am also interesting in a partial drop ceiling. More specifically, how to model a recessed pelmet (drapery track in recessed hat section). Ceiling planes, soffits, attic walls, it's all too messy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since regional terminology fir these items vary greatly I would recommend your own post and put some pictures of what you are trying to accomplish in the post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
