Moker Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm really stuck. I am trying to get the ceilings correct As you know in attic rooms, the ceilings are on an angle until it reaches the finally ceiling height. Like the sheet rock is screwed into the rafters. Has anyone ran into problem? I made many different section views. Still Idk how to put the rock on the rafters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moker Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I guess that I could add gypsum boards to the bottom of the rafters. Then I could charge them for the extra materials. Idk? Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I would hang the drywall from the rafters, and if you are after a flat ceiling bang in a few light duty ceiling joists, probably nothing more than 2x4s, depending on your span and hang your drywall from that. I would suggest being straight with your client and NOT charging them for nonexistent additional materials. Clearly if it their house then they would be responsible for paying for any REAL materials, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know of anyways, other than inside the Wall Structure. Best thing to do would be not to use a Wall Component, and use another component. Or, set a Reference Plane (aka RP) with the Pick Line tool to align the RP to the same angle as the rafters/roof pitch/etc. Use the section tool to snap to the angle of the RP. This will give you a View that is aligned with the proper angle of the sloped components, and you can go from there. This might even be a job for a simple in-place Family component, just to get something there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Roy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Why not give the gypsum ceiling a slope to match the roof slope, then adjust the height so it's aligned with the rafters? You should still be able to do a take-off based on ceiling sq-in. Seems too simple, so I may be misunderstanding the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
