Angled ceiling

Post by Brian Timmermans »

I created a wall with an angled ceiling by making two walls,but when I want to look at the elevation view I cannot bring up both walls together.Is there a way to do this?

Brian,
Elevation view only looks at one elevation at a time.
You can rotate the 3d view and adjust the zoom levels to look at more than one elevation at a time but you cannot adjust anything in that view.
Hope this helps,

There is actually a way you can do this... You can create your wall the whole length needed, create filled rectangles in the Edit Wall View (starting the corners at the peak of the wall), then rotate them using the corner at the peak as the base point, then cut them from the wall (if you have trouble selecting the rectangle by clicking, drag a red selection box on it to get it selected). You will see a solid black line across the top in Overhead/Main View, but this line will not show up in Wall, Render, or Presentation Views. see attached pictures.

The procedures for doing this along with the correct lengths (hypotenuse) and angles are provided in "The Nearly Complete Guide to eCabinet Systems" and is also presented in our online video training program.
