DIYJon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I have speakers that I'm putting into the ceiling. Rather than mounting them directly on the drywall, I'm creating a 1/2" wide x 1/2" deep shadow reveal that surrounds the circumference of the speaker. When it's complete, it looks like the attached photo, which puts the speaker grill flush to the drywall and leaves that reveal ring around it. How would I replicate this look in CA? I imagine I would create a circular polyline 3d molding and then insert it into the drywall, but I can't figure out how to make a hole in the ceiling surface so I can recess the ring into the drywall.

Alaskan_Son Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Have you looked at the Hole in Ceiling Platform tool to see if that does what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw a polyline circle and convert it to a hole in the ceiling and then place the speaker in the hole. You will first need to convert the speaker to a symbol and then make it an interior fixture which will allow you to specify the height of the speaker.

Are you sure you used the Hole in Ceiling Platform tool and not the Roof Hole or Hole in Roof / Custom Ceiling tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericepv Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 This is what I get. You'll need to mess around with the height of the speaker to get it where you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
