Donco15 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi Guys I am trying embark on creating a floating ceiling in a plan. I know that it is possible.. I used the soffit tool - Yay.. Made the ceiling... Question 1: How do I create a rope light effect up top - like in pictures below - and have light illuminating that is non white - say RGB.. Question 2: I have used the soffit tool for regular rectangles - How do I create one that is not a rectangular shape? Note: I thought that I would just use the circles in the cad tools but that does not seem to be the case for it to show in the design... Question 3: Is it possible to show a ceiling like in the kitchen picture below? This creates a nice illumination of drama in a kitchen. Thanks in advance for your help in pointing me in the right direction... D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Architect Premier now has a rope light tool, I do not know if Home Designer Pro has that tool or not. You can currently adjust the color of any light source in any Home Designer or Chief Architect software 1 hour ago, Donco15 said: How do I create one that is not a rectangular shape?

You cannot in Home Designer alone, you would have to make a custom symbol in SketchUp and then import as a symbol into Home Designer 1 hour ago, Donco15 said: Question 3: Is it possible to show a ceiling like in the kitchen picture below? This creates a nice illumination of drama in a kitchen. to a degree, you could place shaped soffits and assign a material to them and then using the "Properties Tab" to make that material highly emissive (light emitting) DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 for #2, you could try it with a custom countertop and raise it to the desired height. That will let you make different angled shapes and they can have a radius applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
