How do 45 degree top to a bookshelf

[fliplewis]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to make the top of the corner bookshelf but am unclear how to do the 45 degree piece to connect the two.  Currently the two edges at the top are soffits with crown molding.   I have played around with soffits and the custom backsplash, but I can't get anything to rotate the 45 degree angle and connect the two.  

 

Any suggestion how I can accomplish this?

 

Also curious if anyone has creative thoughts how I can do something nice with the sloped ceiling and integrate part of the bookshelf into it.

 

Thanks,

I would use three soffits (cabinet tools) with molding profiles on each of the three to emulate such an appearance.

Thanks David,

 

I went to the custom backsplash, because the soffit doesn't allow me to rotate in the transform/replicate window.

 

In the Home designer photo in my original post, specifically, I am having trouble moving that object with the yellow arrow (soffit or custom backsplash) so it's 45 degrees to the walls.   Any advice how to move the object to that specific orientation?  Maybe if you could even point me to a video that is similar.  I just can't find anything.

 

Thanks,

OK, I got it finally.   FYI I had to get the camera zoomed in on the very bottom, skinny part so I could rotate it in the orientation I wanted.
