ANSWER There are several ways to create a tray or coffered ceiling in Chief Architect. Using the Platform Hole tool is among the quickest and easiest. Open a plan you want to create a tray or coffered ceiling in, or create a new plan by selecting File> New Plan from the menu. In this example, we use a single 15′ x 20′ room with a ceiling height of 97 1/8″. If there is living space located above the tray ceiling in your plan, you may need to specify a Lowered Ceiling Height for the room so there is sufficient room in the floor/ceiling platform for the tray ceiling.
