Ceiling

Step 1: Activate one of the draw tools from the BIM Mode top toolbar.

Step 2: Choose "Ceiling" from the object type options. Then select the ceiling type from the dropdown and adjust the ceiling thickness by using the slider or entering a value.

Step 3: Select the draw mode from offset modes or freeform mode.

Select the freeform draw mode and start drawing the profile of the ceiling on the canvas. Define the shape and size according to your project requirements. You can also enter dimensions to create an accurate ceiling sketch.

Use the offset modes to create a ceiling with a specific width. You have three options: Center, External, and Internal. Select the mode that best fits your design, then specify the offset width. This approach is particularly useful when applying different ceiling materials, allowing you to create distinct ceiling areas with precise dimensions.

Step 1: Select one of the offset modes, i.e., center, external or internal, as per your requirement and input the offset width as needed.

Step 2: Start sketching the ceiling outline.
