Tray Ceiling that doesn't follow the roof pitch

[Jim_Brown]

I have a second floor bedroom that looks like it has a standard tray ceiling that HD Suite knows how to build. However, the ceiling does not follow the roof pitch. The roof has a pitch of 10/12, but the ceiling has a pitch of 7.5/12.

 

Can HD Suite create such a ceiling?

 

Thanks

I believe you have wedge shapes in the library that can be used.

 

A picture of the ceiling would help. I associate a Tray Ceiling with flat, not sloped ceiling planes.

Solver - I may be using the terminology incorrectly, but I found this in the HD reference manual:

 

 

A tray ceiling is flat in the center and sloped

around the perimeter, and is easily created

using the underside of roof planes above.

 

In any event, I have enclosed a picture of the problem. It is a cross section through the roof and bedroom showing how the edges of the bedroom ceiling do not follow the slope of the roof.

 

I have looked at the wedges available to me, and they are all right-angled, so don't do what I need done.

I don't think you can do that in Suite. I could not find the Wedge Shape in my copy of Suite. 

 

Here is what I was thinking in case you do have it. 

 

It can be reshaped, but cannot have its 90 degree angle changed.

That looks like it could work, if HD doesn't complain about it interfering with the ceiling/roof structure. I'll give it a try and let you know.

 

Yes, I do have wedges.
