I am drawing a kitchen with a soffit, I need help to figure out how to edit the soffit so that they have angled corners instead of a 90 degree corners. I have placed soffits on the walls using soffits I found in the Moldings/Soffits folder in the Architectural Elements catalog.

Hey Jason,

You could use 3d shapes to make the soffits and then edit the 3d shapes to have the appropriate angles.

Hi Jason,

I’ve always found the easiest way to do soffits is to use the countertop program to create them. By placing a 12″ deep wall base on the floor plan after the walls are set but prior to designing cabinetry, and setting a counter on it, the countertop can be manipulated for width, depth, thickness, and texture ( I match the wall texture) pretty easily, then set above the floor to the dimension needed. An angled corner- no sweat: grab the inside point, make a radius corner, then straighten the arc. A couple of notes: best to be using square foot top for the default counter; if you use auto-design for countertop and backsplashes once the cabinet layout is set, 2020 will put splash on top of the soffits  (easily deleted); and when setting top moulding at the wall cabinets, it’s necessary to lift the soffit above the wall height to set the moulding.

Thanks, I will give that a try!
