Ceiling elements are similar to floors. They are horizontal planes set at a…certain height above the finished floor and can include layers of material…in the construction.…You can choose from common types like 2x4 grid, or drywall ceiling, or…even create your own.…The fastest way to create a ceiling is to use the Auto Ceiling option. This tool…automatically creates a ceiling from the walls that enclose the space.…In cases where you don't have walls or where the ceiling shape is irregular, you…can sketch the ceiling using many of the familiar sketch-based tools.…So I'm in a file here called Ceilings and I'm in the Level 1 Floor Plan view.…
And the first thing I want to talk about is a common mistake that we've all made…when we first used ceilings, and that is, to go to the Architecture tab and go…right to the Ceiling tool, I've got my Automatic Ceiling and click a point and…an error will occur, and that is because I'm still in a floor plan.…Ceilings don't display in a floor plan view, naturally, so I'm going to escape…
