Ceiling Planes

Add Ceiling Planes

Step 1 - Create Ceiling Plane

Click the + Create button in the scene toolbar and choose Ceiling Plane

Tip

You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Q + C to quickly begin inserting a Ceiling Plane.

Step 2 - Define Slope and Place Ceiling Planes

Enter the desired slope and select a line to start from

Note

Ceiling Planes are typically defined on the inner side of the Bearing Envelope. If all Bearing Envelopes have the same height, a 0/12 ceiling is assumed, and no ceiling planes are required.

Step 3 - Insert Ceiling Planes

Click the Insert and Repeat button to begin selecting the next envelope. Click Insert to finish.

Step 4 - Cut Ceiling Planes

Right-click or select a ceiling plane and click Cut Plane. Cutting ceiling planes is similar to cutting Roof Planes.

Tip

While cutting, you can hold Shift to cut against bearing envelopes instead of inserting a vertical ceiling plane at 90 degrees. This means that, for a simple vault, ceiling planes are only needed on opposing sides.

Delete Ceiling Planes

To delete a single plane right-click the plane in the scene and choose Delete Plane . If you would like to delete multiple planes at a time, hold down the Ctrl key and click each plane in the right sidebar. Once you have selected your planes, click the Delete icon to remove them.
