I was wondering if there was any way to define more than one slope for a ceiling? The bottom chords of the trusses that we're using have a slope of 3/12 with the ridge running down the middle of the room. I've tried using the ceiling tool, but it won't let me define more than one slope. Any ideas?

Can you split the ceiling into two halves sloping each individually?

Steves solution is the best. I have no idea why revit doesn't currently allow multiple slopes on roof soffits or ceilings, but right now the only way is sep pieces then join geometry as needed.

Thanks for your replies. I was getting ready to try splitting it in half, but I was hoping there was some dialogue box or setting I was missing...

Or use a 12 mm thick roof made of plasterboard.

This would be an issue if you wanted to host light fittings on the ceiling for a rendering for example, but otherwise it should be quite acceptable.
