Aunttieem Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I would like to know the best way to create this style of ceiling. The octagon ceiling will be in the center of a flat ceiling of a room. I have attached an example of what I am looking for . Thank for any help!

Alaskan_Son Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm thinking a bunch of ceiling planes are your best bet, although you could explore using one single ceiling plane with an octagon shaped hole and then mouldings and/or polyline solids.

DMDesigns Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Something like this? I used ceiling planes, and the AUTO polygon shape room tool. I also used the regular polygon for the flat ceiling in the middle. I think mines just a bit bigger. But hey, I finally found a use for that chandelier.

arthur17crusader Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've done this.Two rooms, one within another, linked with an invisible wall. The inner room is made taller than the outer ( let's say 20cm taller) and all its walls are made invisible as well. At the exact same position of the invisible walls I put two soffits for each wall, one soffit on top of the other. The lower is a few mm thin to pretend the ceiling and of the same paint and the top reaches to the taller ceiling of the inner room, decorated with moldings. Once I deleted the "inner" ceiling to make it vaulted but I didn't like the outcome. (Off topic: the opening on the left would receive a fitted cupboard/bookcase) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant thinking outside of the octagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur17crusader Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I have also tried a sloped-ceiling octagon but I didn't like the outcome, so I haven't got any pictures to show. Secondly, yes, this is the ground floor and above that there's another floor. This was never a problem since I always built the rough ceiling taller than the finished ceiling and the ceiling finish is quite thick, so that the finished floor is 2.7m @ dshall: what is SOL? Am I the Sun? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
