Need a Slanted Roof in One End of Bathroom on Second Floor

[Tryingtobezen]

Hello,

 

I am having a super difficult time getting the ceiling to slant on one end of my bathroom in this model. Please disregard the first floor. On the second floor there is one end of the ceiling where the wall is 6ft and the height increases to 9ft, 4ft into the space. I have the wall  at an angle. It is the bathroom wall beside the stairs I have tried manually drawing the ceiling plane. It will not draw correctly on its own. I need to share a 3D model and I do not want that end of the bathroom to not have a ceiling. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can not upload the model as it states it is too big. This is an old file for the same plan. If someone could walk me through it so I can update it on the current plan I would be so very grateful!

 

Thank you,

if you want to send the original file, just close the drawing and compress/zip up the file and upload.

It's perfect! How did you do it if you don't mind sharing

I don't mind at all. It's a bit tricky.....but easy once you know how. First I pulled it out from the edge into the room 4'-0", then In the edit DBX had to adjust the ridge height (This is the high side) and bottom height. The tricky part is you have to lock the parameter you have already set when making a change to the next parameter. If you don't do that you will be chasing it all over. BTW.... In this particular case make plan adjustments to the plane first and then open the DBX and adjust those parameters. Doing it out of order will not give you the outcome you are looking for.

 

Side note: It seems that the ceiling plane tool is designed for vaulted ceilings that continue to rise at fixed pitch/angle. When used as designed you would want the ridge side of the ceiling plane to continue on that pitch and rise as you pull it away from the start point. 

 

Have a play around with the tool. You will see what I am referring to.

 

Good luck.

 

I hope this makes sense.
