How to Add Ceilings to Your 3D Floor Plan
When it comes to creating your 3D floor plan, every detail matters. With your Houzz Pro account, you can now add ceilings to your 3D design to better bring your vision for your client's space to life.
This tutorial will guide you through the simple steps to create stunning ceilings within the 3D Floor Planner.
Create Ceilings in the 3D Floor Planner
To add a ceiling to your design, open up your relevant 3D floor plan. Click the Structures section in the right panel, then click on Ceilings and select Edit Ceilings.
Click on the room you would like to edit in your 3D floor plan. You can then select the ceiling type from the menu that appears on the right. Options include Flat, Shed, Cathedral or None.
Once you select the relevant ceiling type, you can then edit the rest of the ceiling details.
Ceiling Height
You can easily adjust the height of the ceiling. If you select Flat, there will only be a base height. If you select Shed or Cathedral, there will be both a base height and a peak height. The base height is for the lowest height of the ceiling, while the peak height is for the highest part of the ceiling.
For Shed and Cathedral ceilings, you can also select Rotate Peak on the floor plan itself to adjust the peak design based on what's needed for the structure of the room.
Ceiling Finish
You can adjust the material, color or finish of the ceiling from an extensive list of choices. To do so, click the material selector under Ceiling Style to pull up your options.
You will then be able to browse our Materials Library in the right menu. Use the dropdown at the top to narrow down your options, starting with the Ceilings section. You'll also find popular paint colours by Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, as well as the ability to select your own colour. You can also use the search bar to search by keyword.
Once you're done customising the ceiling properties, click Done next to "Editing ceilings" on the floor plan. Then, go into Dollhouse or Walkthrough mode to preview your ceiling details.
