    Vaulted ceiling

    I'm a new user to HDpro8.

    I am adding a family room with vaulted ceiling of 2/12 pitch and 4/12 roof. I have managed to manually create the roof and ceiling using roof and ceiling planes. So far, I have not been able to extend the interior and exterior walls to meet the ceiling and roof profile at the gable ends. I do, however, have a great view of the outside!

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Only guessing here without a pic to look at, but make sure that the roof planes are drawn slightly passed the outer edge of the main layer, even if
    you don't want any overhang on the gable walls. Otherwise the attic wall won't generate.

    With the ceiling planes it's the opposite - make sure they don't go passed the outer edge or they will block the attic wall from generating.

    Vaulted ceiling problem

    Thanks Doug for your help. I have tried to rebuild using your guidelines but still have the same results. I have attached some pics to show the problem.

    Thanks again,

    Usually Attic walls will be automatically created when you have a gable roof, but since you have Pro and drew this in manually, I guess you will probably have to manually draw in the Attic walls too.
