Soffit Ceiling


Recommended Posts

@Bruce Kiefferhi, anytime i need a ceiling i simply draw a polygon and extrude the thickness of the ceiling and then move to the height i need, place on a class 3D-Ceilings. I use the prefix 3D- for all my created 3D objects.(not for walls or windows) as I will have 2D once we get into construction drawings. Ctrl+Alt+M will get you the z move.

I see the "Slab Tool" creates many other types of objects other than just slabs. I watched the Vectorworks Architect "Creating the Floors" video that showed creating slabs using basic 2D tools, composing the shapes, and then converting the result to a slab. I assume this is done when the shape of the slab needed is very complex, as it was in the video.

There is also the ceiling grid tool but has minimal input - you can't change depth or the size of the T, only the size of the grid and rotation. It does have other uses as well - I sometimes use it to create quick decking or floor planks.

I plan on trying that for my ceiling grid and see how close it comes to what I actually did. Should be interesting.
