Vaulted ceiling and slab issue for porch

[cmeyer9424]

Hi everyone,

 

This is an ongoing problem I have when designing open-area pool houses or porches. 

 

1. I need a cathedral-style ceiling, but as you can see from the picture, the finished ceiling does not meet the framing and needs to be corrected. How do I resolve this to have a finished appearance?

 

2. For some reason, my slabs always sit on top of my terrain. No matter how I design it or the order I build it, this always happens. Even in regular house design, all my doors are off the terrain, and the entire structure never seems to sit flush. The only way I get it to visually look correct is to negatively set the slab height to sink it into the ground, which throws off other elements, as you can imagine. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What are your framing preferences set up as? Looks to me like your rafter framing as specified is larger then your fascia and sub-fascia specification. You need to set those ahead of time to get the right results the first time.

If you have a room...open the room and specify "Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling".
