Curved Drop Ceiling tiles

[GoodwinLtg]

Good Afternoon. I am working on a project in a ballroom with a curved drop ceiling. The File I have only has 2D information. I would like to "create" a 3D version of the room. The ceiling is made up of 2x2 drop ceiling panels and forms a dome or arch from side to side.

I understand how to use the drop ceiling IPO, but how do I fit it to a curved surface?

Thanks, Glen

I don't think the Ceiling PIO will do this.

It sounds like you are describing a barrel vault.

But it will be very easy to make this using extrudes...

here is a 10 second version, which I am sure would do

the trick with just a few more minutes of fiddling with it

once you know exactly what it should look like.

Go to a 'front' view, draw an arc, trace over it with the

shape of your tiles, then extrude the length of the room.

Then decide how much detail you want...

Thanks,

This what I ended up doing as well.

Just wondering if I missed something in the drop ceiling creation or in the PIO. Maybe align to arc or path??

Thanks, Glen
