Deck ceiling

[TeriCDA]

I am creating a lower and upper deck.  I selected flat ceiling over the lower deck and placed lights on the ceiling.  

The 3d view of the ceiling shows the upper deck joists - not a flat ceiling.  How can I get the flat ceiling to be viewed?

maybe post the plan.

 

just speculating, might be more of a balcony than a deck, might want to try changing the upper deck room to a balcony

A room defined as DECK does not have a ceiling at all.  If the upper deck is intended to be a water proof covering such as DURADEK, it would not be defined as DECK.  Give the rooms definitions of what you are calling decks another choice.  You could define them as LIVING ROOM.  You could then specify the room specifications to show what you want.  You could set the floor finish material to the water proof product.  The same goes for the ceiling material specification.  Set the specifications to have a ceiling then change the material to what ever you want.

Balcony is the best method. 

 

Won't count towards living space.

 

Builds like a room. Has ceiling but no base boards. 

 

Change flooring to deck boards. Nice and easy.
