Roof And Cathedral Ceilings

[MAINEWOOD59]

I started a new project with 2 different roof elevations, all cathedral ceilings and a loft in the center (taller) structure.  I cannot get ceilings to open up for cathedral effect in the 2 attached wings??

My first thought because of the skewed layout was the need to create the cathedral ceilings manually but then noticed the way CA framed the second floor/ceiling.

Could be a couple of things going on. Not sure...maybe some of the roof/framing pros will chime in.

For a start, you need to build the roofs correctly.

It looks like you have built them manually.

The central higher roofs run straight through under the side roofs - wrong. 

These roofs will always look wrong from inside.

I suggest that you use the auto roof builder and uncheck Ceiling Over This Room.

I'd make the wings a single level and raise the ceiling/roof.

 

Thanks for the help, guys.

I tried this and have posted a picture of the results.

Eric, How do I do this?

 

I also need to create a 2nd fl. loft in the taller structure.

I drew a ceiling plane in the main building and pulled the wall material up in the gable section of the wings.

I do get some Z-fighting on gable wall over siding, changed surface material thickness but did not seem to make a difference, have to mess around a little on that one.
