Hi thanks for your reply. The pictures you show are pretty much what I am trying to achieve but I am still struggling to achieve it following the instructions, it just doesn't seem to want to work for me... (I am still pretty new to all this).

I've attached the file that I am currently working on and trying to achieve panelling on the roof and was wondering if you could have a quick look to see if I am making an obvious mistake? I think I have constructed the building and roof correctly, after watching all the video tutorials. I will be adding windows etc. after I have achieved this...

Hi Luke ,

Thank you for your question.

Yes you can cover the interior of the pitched roof with " Wall panelling".
To do this right click your Floor on the Projects dialog on the right of the screen.

Select Properties

In the Floor properties dialog that appears, input your Wall paneling depth.
Your Roof Trusses should now be concealed.

Alternatively you can toggle on and off the Trusses from the top horizontal menu, toggle roof construction on/off button.

Hi.

Wondering if anyone can help? I am currently in the process of redesigning the interior of part of a house. The part is a single storey extension with a pitched roof. I am trying to open up the ceiling into the roof/ pitch space and subsequently insert some roof lights (velux type windows). I've drawn/ built the building and roof but cant seem to find a way to cover the pitch inside the roof with something like a plaster board texture, all I can seem to get is the roof trusses uncovered. Obviously I want to show how this will look in 3d prior to commencing any works.

I've watched all the tutorials etc. but still struggling. Any help will be much appreciated!
