tantrim Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I am working on an old house that has some arched/barreled ceilings and would like to draw them in so our drawings reflect what they currently have. I could use some help with the how-to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The easiest method would be to take a cross section of the room. Draw an arch (barrel) using the CAD tools. Convert it to a molding polyline with a thickness of say 1" times whatever the length of the room is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methods for building barrel arch: -ceiling plane -psolid -2d molding am I forgetting another method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I also like it if you don't need the framing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJSpud Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Scott: The beauty of the pmolding is it auto gives you both sides of the drywall whereas the poly solid does not You could make your PL solid look just like a sheet of drywall if you wanted to take the time to do it.
