Project Setup

To begin, download the prepared project file. This file already includes the floor plan and correct scaling required for this tutorial.

Open the project in EASE and use it as the starting point for the following steps.

Floor

We will now create the polygon that forms the floor.

• Select the POLYGON Icon

• Click on all the points along the perimeter

Make sure the outline is accurate, as it defines the overall room shape for all following steps.

Ceiling Slope

Next we create the Polygon that has the correct slope and height for the ceiling.
Select the Polygon icon. Hover over the origin, then use the following steps to create the surface.

1. Press S, then type -35 in the X textbox, and 17.5 in the Z textbox, then press Enter.

2. Type 35 in the X textbox, then press Enter.

3. Hover over the mid-point of the central Face at the bottom. Press S, then type 35 in the X textbox, and 12.5 in the Z textbox, then press Enter.

4. Type -35 in the X textbox, then press Enter.

5. Press C to Close the Polygon. 

Ceiling

We will now create the Polygon that forms the ceiling.

1. Select the Ceiling Slope Face if it is not selected. Invert its orientation if it has a thick border indicative of it facing away from the floor.

2. Press the Polygon in Face icon to create the new surface in the sloped plane.

3. Hover over the  mid point of the central bottom Face on the surface on the floor, then press Z.

4. Press [F2] to switch to activate snapping to surfaces.

5. Move the mouse to the ceiling slope plane directly above the point on the floor. The cursor will change to 2 red circles to indicate that you will now create a point on the sloped plane when you click the left mouse button.

6. Hover over the next Vertex on the surface on the floor, then press Z.

7. Continue hovering around the perimeter of the floor and pressing Z until you get to the last vertex.

8. Press C to Close the Polygon.

9. Press Esc to get out of the Polygon in Face mode, select the outer part of the ceiling slope plane, and press Delete.

We will now extrude the floor face to create the walls. This step defines the vertical boundaries of the room and prepares the geometry for alignment with the sloped ceiling.

1. Select the floor face, then select the Extrude Face icon, then press Enter.

2. Type 12 in the Z textbox, then press Enter.

3. Select the top face that was extruded, then press Delete.

4. Select one of the walls, then select the Edit Vertices icon.

5. Select one of the top vertices of the face, then drag it to the matching vertex in the ceiling face.

6. Select the other top vertex of the face, then drag it to the matching vertex in the ceiling face.

7. Press ESC.

Repeat the steps above for each of the wall faces. This ensures that all walls correctly follow the slope of the ceiling and complete the room geometry. Work carefully and verify each wall individually to ensure proper alignment with the ceiling surface before moving on.
