ChiefuserMZ Posted Thursday at 05:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:59 PM Hi, I am a fairly new user of Chief Architect and came across one of Chief Architect's tutorials on how to make different kinds of ceilings. After following the soffit ceiling tutorial, the ceiling became glitched and looked like the photos shown below. In my photos, the first 3 show the top and bottom views of my ceiling, as well as how it looks like in the 2D view. The last photo you will see is how the ceiling looked in the tutorial video. - Can anyone give me any tips or advice on how I can fix this? Here is the tutorial link I was following: Ceilings — Vault, Shed, Trey & A Reflected Plan - Video | Chief Architect (The second ceiling shown).

DBCooper Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:14 PM Soffits (and cabinets) can do weird things when they overlap. In the lower left picture above, it looks like that is what you did. See if butting them up to each other solves the problems. Sometimes just flipping a soffit around can solve some of the issues. You can tell where the front is because you should see an arrow indicator when you select it. If neither of these help, then I recommend posting the plan.

ChiefuserMZ Posted Thursday at 07:07 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 07:07 PM Hi, I tried doing those, and it still shows the same overlapping. Here is my plan, let me know what you think! Soffit Ceiling.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DBCooper Posted Thursday at 08:22 PM Solution Share Posted Thursday at 08:22 PM The problem is the middle soffit sections. They seem to be connecting to the edge ones and making some bogus filler surfaces. You could make them out of something other than soffits, such as polyline solids or counter tops. I found if I took them and converted them into architectural blocks (each block with only one soffit and you do this by holding down the shift key when you select it) that it disabled this strange behavior. Seems like you shouldn't need to do this though so you might want to report this to Chief. You can also turn off all of the automatic fillers in your general cabinet defaults but this will turn off the fillers in between the edge soffits as well and I don't know if you want those or not.
