partial exposed roof line with flat ceiling above

[GeorgeLeck]

trying to create a room with 88" high walls, the gable roof joist form about 24" of the ceiling and then it goes to a flat ceiling. I cant figure out how to create the 24" cathedral with the flat ceiling. thanks for your advice.

Hey George..  

To get the cathedral, uncheck "Flat Ceiling Over This Room" in the room specification.

To get the flat, the for sure way is to draw in a ceiling plane at the height your wanting the flat area.  Open the ceiling specification to set height and zero for the pitch.

Another option is to set the room ceiling height at 112" and locate your roof plane where it crosses the wall at the 88", leaving "Flat Ceiling Over This Room" checked.

 

I am assuming your using Premier...

Set the Room Height at 88" , built the Roof Automatically with the 24" Roof Depth at desired Pitch, ( so roof planes build off 88" walls)  then turn off Autobuild Roof and then back in the Room Definition set the ceiling height to 112" which should give you the flat area...with sloping sides. ( Roof Planes won't move with AutoBuild off , but ceiling will )
