Soffit Questions

Good afternoon,

 

I started using the ceiling soffit tool for the first time and have a few questions.

Is it only limited to simple box and corner shapes?  (I was a little surprised you cannot use the break tool and also boolean Add / subtract tools to create more complex soffits).

 

How do people create more complex ceiling soffits?

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

Cabinet soffits are pretty limited, but still useful.  One thing that they can do that other things can't is automatically match the slope of a vaulted ceiling.  They can also have moldings attached (but not when sloped!).

 

If you need more control over the shape, you could use a 3D solid.  If you only need to shape it in plan view but still need a molding, you could use a counter top.

 

Another thing you might want to look at is the "trey ceiling" tool.  Depending on what you are trying to do, this might do the job much better.
