Struggling with 'use soffit surface for ceiling'

[ChiefRushT]

I'm working on a design for our next home build.  It'll be a hybrid timber frame, and I'm trying to use 'use soffit surface for ceiling' to create the effect of planking for the ceiling.  I have a celestory style upper floor with a 'catwalk' on either side side.  The second floor has a room that's 'open below'.  The two roof planes have identical settings.  For the life of me, I can't seem to get both roof planes to show the planking at the same time.

 

I'm early in the process and just getting structure down, so just ignore the aesthetics for now please

 

Thoughts anyone?

???

Unclear what you did or what you want?

The left roof plane shows the osb layer, the right roof plane shows the soffit material which I have set to some planking.  The view here is from the first floor looking through the second floor opening, to the second floor roof.  Notice that left side shows OSB, right side shows planking.  Yet, settings for both roof planes are identical.

 

Appreciate the consideration.

Do you have a ceiling thickness set up? If so, that would be where you'd put the ceiling material

On the 2nd floor, open the "open below" room dialog, and uncheck "ceiling over this room."
Open the materials dialog and select the planking for the ceiling finish.

Open the "cat-walk room" and follow the same steps.

Hey folks, thank you for the help so far.  I'm still not exactly sure what the issue is/was.  In the picture, you can tell that the issue is related to the left side roof plane.  The 'open to below' room is symmetrical to the midline, so its settings should apply to both roof planes.  Both roof planes had identical settings.

 

I discovered that the left side roof plane did not have a valid 'top of plate' measurement.  I deleted it and copied/reflected the working right side roof plane to the left, and now both seem to be OSB.  So at least we're consistent now.  Then, I followed Jo_Ann's recommendation, which solve the final piece of the puzzle.

 

Thanks everyone! Making more progress.
