Ceiling

[bgauthier]

Hi everyone. I don't know it this issue was discussed in some other thread, but this is a concern for me. I would like to know how I draw the bottom part of a roof so that the the top of the walls would butt on it. I used to work for a roof trusses manufacturer and it was a part of the roof. See the attached to see the result I'm looking for and tell me if it is possible.
Thanks everyone

I use 2 roofs, one flat for the bot. chord and one sloped for the top, then attach the wall to the flat roof. If you need the vertical member(or a high heel) I use a wall and attach its top and bot.

As Scott said use 2 roofs and it is much easier if you use roof soffit for the flat roof as you would just pick the upper roof as boundary for the flat roof then just join geometry.

Wow, thanks guys. I'll try that. I really didn't know that you can use 2 roofs. How about the gable end ones?

the same, just use the define slope check box to slope it to your roof pitch

Nice tip on the roof soffit.

Ok, here's a tricky one. The attached show where I'm at with Revit, and the other one what I need (from Autocad). I don't know how to get the flat part of the ceiling. Got any ideas?

did you try to make a ceiling? I'm not sure what you're calling tricky. You've got 2 pics there, but nothing showing what you're after, like an arrow.

As you asked, there is one I noted.

You could use 2 different ceiling and join them or create an in-place one
