Sloped Ceiling

[Context]

Hi,

I'm new to Chief Architect.  I'm an interior designer and trying to get a sloped ceiling in the upstairs closet but it's following the roof line instead.  I used the ceiling plane tool.

Using the ceiling plane tool is the correct approach ... you just need to choose the slope, as you would when setting the slope on a roof section.  There's a possibility you have another glitch or two in your plan.  If you send it to me with a explanation of what you want to achieve, I'll hava look around a perhaps I can solve it for you.

Since you are new , just want to make sure you are aware of the Knowledge Base (KB) , lots of good tutorials here http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/database.html

 

I would advise getting the Reference Manual PDF linked on the Help Menu too , I usually find it easier to use than the online help but in this case it is handy , select the custom ceiling plane and Open it's DBX (dialog box) , and in the bottom right hand corner click on the help button and it will open to the ceiling plane Specification Help Items.

 

 

It sounds to me though , that  you drew it in the wrong direction , the tick mark on the 1st line seen is pointing up.
