Sloped ceilings

[delanodesigns 0]

I can't figure out to make a roof/ceiling for this space. It is an existing attic space and I am doing a remodel and the ceiling slopes almost to the floor at the edges and I don't know know how to make it so it reflects this. I have attached a picture of the plan and some photos of the actual space.

I would start by creating a 2nd floor, with a ceiling height that equals the short knee walls (looks like between 24-30"), create the roof with the pitch to match the existing, then once the roof is in place, with the correct framing dimensions, 2x8, 2x10, etc., open the room dialogue box and un-check ceiling above this room. This should give you the cathedral/sloped ceiling you need. And as far as I know, this is the way every version of CA works :-)

I think I did it for Guy,  "the Norwegian"......  I was killing time before I started  working on a job that I did not want to do.

That's what I'm doing right now.
