ChiefID1970 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Chief Architext Premier X13. I am an interior designer doing a kitchen remodel and only drawing this room. I am struggling to draw a curved ceiling and tray ceiling as shown in the attached picture. I thought I did it correctly but when I try to put wood paneling on the curved ceiling only, the whole ceiling changes to wood and that is not what I want. Any suggestions on how to draw the curved ceiling would be appreciated. I have search Q&A here and the help videos. Thanks for your help in advance!

My question is really more about how to draw the curved ceiling. Once I figure that out, I think I can figure out the application of materials.

Thank you Chief has many short tutorials in the KnowledgeBase ( KB ) and there is one on Barrel Vaults, so that maybe a good point to start........ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00650/creating-a-curved-barrel-ceiling.html there are several Videos too under Ceilings.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10203/ceilings-vaults-barrels-treys.html?playlist=96 As for Tray Ceilings if you are using Invisible Walls as maybe needed I think from looking at your Pic it is usually best to use the Old Polyline Solid Method vs Chief's Automatic Trey Ceilings which do not play well with Invisible Walls.
