HarrisReno Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I have added a soffit to a space in my plan where the ceiling is vaulted. I have selected "Place Under Ceiling," but the soffit does not follow the ceiling line. I have done this in many other plans, so I don't know what I'm overlooking.

DBCooper Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think you need to mark the soffit as "slopped". You will also have to orient it the other way to get it to match the ceiling slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another would be in the Standard view to set both Ambient Lighting sliders to 55-60% , I have it set in my template now so I don't need to do it every time, (along with the Ambient Occlusion Eric mentioned set to 20%), I am not sure why chief sets it at 31% as it always seems "dull" to me.... , maybe personal preference too?

DBCooper Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 After you use the "place under ceiling", you might want to lower the soffit by 3/4" otherwise it will be embedded in your ceiling which will cause missing lines. I think this only happens when you are using custom ceilings like this. You might also want to fix up the side soffit too since it is embedded into the wall. I like to do all of my modelling in vector views so that it is easier to see these kinds of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisReno Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Thank you, Kbird1! I'm going to tweak my template now! Very useful, DBCooper - I really appreciate that you took the time to notice these details so I can correct them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
