How to Add a Sloped Ceiling and Roof?

How to add a roof or indicate a sloped ceiling in your floor plan.

At this time, it is not possible to create a roof or sloped ceiling in magicplan. However, we do have two alternatives for indicating a roof or sloped ceiling. 

You can add a flat roof as a floor or you can use an annotation object to indicate a change in the roof's elevation (please note that annotation objects are only available for Report and Estimate users).
