Ceilings

3.6.1

Step 1

From the Architecture tab of the top ribbon select the “Ceiling” tool.

Step 2

Ensure the correct Ceiling Family is selected from the drop-down box at the top of the Properties Side Panel.

Step 3

Model the Ceilings.

Step 4

Adjust the Ceilings pitch by selecting one of the Ceiling footprint lines and tick the “Define Slope” box in the top ribbon to add a pitch angle. Ticking this box and entering an angle into the field next to the line adjusts pitch angle.

Note: Make sure to model the Ceilings to the outside of the Exterior Walls, to ensure accuracy when it comes to Thermal Calculations.

Step 5

Adjust Ceiling elevation. This can be done in the Properties side panel or by moving them in an Elevation view.

Note: Remember to differentiate and separate Ceilings over Conditioned and Unconditioned Typologies.
