Kbird1 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Chief's Tray Ceilings can be buggy especially in rooms like this or where Room Dividers are used so sometimes the tried and true methods work better ...ie a Polyline Solid with a Hole in it....

Thanks Ryan and apologies for not being clearer in my posts above but the problem is as soon as I go to full camera 3D view the tray ceiling button is grayed out so I cannot create a tray ceiling to 'inset into ceiling.'

I have the Tray Ceiling Polyline Tool which is (now) obviously meant to draw a poly line in plan view and SHOULD be grayed out in a 3D view. I'm off to search for the 3D tray ceiling tool.

Did you Select the Room 1st ? ( click on floor or Ceiling) then the Icon on the Edit toolbar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 All righty then. I am working on a lap top and the tools show up in different places and I completely missed the "Make Tray Ceiling In Room" tool on the bottom tool bar which I NEVER use on my desk top. Simply never looked down there for the tool staring me n the face. DOH! It even shows up on right in the screen shot I posted, wow. THANK YOU ALL for your patience as I earn my HumbleChief nickname..

Yup, wrecked my back and can't sit at my desk and can't walk so much either so not the best use case scenario. I sit in a recliner with my laptop and get nothing done lol.

JBi-PDX Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 @HumbleChief - I just watched the video again and he does the "exploding" in plan view. His fix worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he creates the tray ceiling in 3D using a tool I couldn't seem to locate . Very glad it was fixed for you and I learned a couple things as well.
