PitMan71 Posted Monday at 09:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:25 PM Hey guys How do I fill in this gap open to the attic where my ceiling plane is? I know I have solved this issue before I just can't remember what I did. This is at the top of the stairs looking toward the rear of the home. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

robdyck Posted Monday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:28 PM A 3d solid is the simplest. It's possible to do it with a wall but it won't necessarily be stable and it will take a very long time to get it exact. You may need to use 2 3d solids. 1 for the wallboard and 1 for the ceiling board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra_dweller Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Yeah I was able to kind of fix it by drawing a wall off to the side the length from the end of the railing to the peak of the ceiling plane. Then changed the new little wall section to "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom", then center on the 2x4 wall. But as Rob said it's extremely unstable with the ceiling plane wanting to snap to places you don't want it to, etc.,.Plus I still ended up with missing drywall at the railing-wall intersection. I've learned it's usually way quicker to build a solid and move on in these situations. I wish I had all the time back I've spent chasing wall-ceiling-roof intersections around and fixing gaps in materials in Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanK Posted Monday at 10:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:46 PM It will need some tweaking, but I just drew a wall on the attic floor, opened it up, went to roof tab and selected "Extend Roof Downwards" and "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom". See attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that your sloped ceiling is a ceiling plane (and not from the roof) you will also need a custom ceiling plane for the flat ceiling in order for the ceiling surfaces to join correctly. Alternatively, you can drag the top of the sloped ceiling a bit higher to avoid a vertical cut at the top of the sloped ceiling. A section view and cross section lines can help make this an exact process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
