Tray Ceiling

[Stephm419]

Does anyone know if Revit can make a tray ceiling?

If so, how?

I tried adding 4 slope arrows that are only 2' long but it only sloped it once.

This requires five separate ceilings. The first ceiling is the upper portion, the other four are the sloped ceilings that start from the lower portion and abutt each of the four sides of the upper ceiling. Each of the four separate ceilings will have a slope arrow where the tail is set to the lower height and the head is set to the upper height. It does not matter how long or short the slope arrows are, only the tail/head height or slope ratio.

I know that this post is a few years old. But, I just searched it a few weeks ago to learn how to do it myself and the Melarch response was right. But in truth the Tray Ceiling worked out as 6 separate ceilings:

1. The Upper Ceiling

2. The Lower Ceiling

3. The 4 (not 3) perimeter ceilings that are sloped. Each ceiling must be sketched separately.

I attached a draft rendering of it. That sloped ceiling of the tray in back needs to be tightened up a little...but you can see here. I just needed to get 3 tray ceilings in a floorplan and the assignment turned into a 2 story model...which I do not mind...I am gonna probably do the same amount of detail on the other 17 floorplans in the assignment.
