Again in need of help. The corner cutout is the issue since no walls are 90 degrees. If anyone has the time and willingness to help me out with this one, I attached the model along with photos. It would mean a lot if you could make a gif of the steps you did, or just create a cutout object you used, so I can figure out and hopefully rewire my brain to be able to do the other ones. Thank you all in advance.

Oh come on ! This part is easy, I’m sure you’ll get it right with every advices you’ve been given
The curve of the ceiling stops prematurely on the left, and the corners are cut off by simple parallelepipeds
@paul.millet You nailed it in the first issue with your post but each time I try intersecting the ceiling with the arch, it ends up being curved not pointy. I recreated @DaveR solution by creating that shape of a cutout but I want to understand what was I missing trying to recreate yours. Did you open my last skp file? Maybe you could have a look and explain to me what am I missing. My way of thinking isn’t yet rewired the way people who are many years in this is. Plus I’m on a deadline. I’m not asking anyone to do it instead of me, just to explain what am I missing, and all that after I spent few hours trying to do it myself.
ok roughly that’s what you have to cut your ceiling with. Except in the model you sent the ceiling is wrong, observe the curves
You were right, it is easy regarding shape, but like I said, my mind isn’t yet rewired to view geometry in that way.
What about your original post? Do you have any idea why my pointy connection with the ceiling ends up being a curve?
Also, I really appreciate you putting the effort and time explaining this to me especially with issues that are trivial to veterans of modeling. I started doing this 3 years ago along with my day job so I’m still learning.
To get a pointy result although the shape you’re using to substract is round, it has to be exactly tangent to the main solid. That usually happens at the summit of the ceiling curve, but as the other users pointed out, from what we can see on your pictures it’s not always at the summit/middle so they advised you to tilt it a bit so it remains tangent on the sides
Not sure if that is clear to you, and I’m sorry I can’t illustrate what I’m saying more, going to the museum with my son
Sorry I have been on deadline. I think you are finding your way… and @paul.millet is doing a great job illustrating the differences. I’m flat out getting a backlog of work done this weekend.
Yeah, makes sense. Thank you again and have a great time
