Default Ceiling does not show?
I have a problem that makes making good screenshots difficult- my rooms have no ceilings, and instead the sky and trees behind the building are shown. Even though there definitely is a ceiling (I have tried deleting and re-installing the ceiling), and in fact, there are several floors above the room I'm trying to show. Is there any way to fix this?

Unfortunately you have to have your walls fully up before the ceiling will be shown, making it quite hard to take screenshots at eye level as by then you'll have a wall in the way too! Assuming your rooms are large enough for you to have the camera position inside them and still get the shot you want, consider page-up to get all your building levels showing, then go into Tab (first person) view mode and use Q to sink the view back down to the level you want to capture. At least that way you will be able to see the structure if you look up - very helpful for multi-level atrium etc.

I'm pretty sure the camera is actually in the room, though? It does not seem to make any difference where the camera is...

As I said, you do need walls fully up for the ceiling to show at all.

thank you, but yes- the walls are fully up, the camera is in the room, but still no ceiling? It seems to be some kind of a bug?

Interestingly, I'm now building another house, and the ceiling does show! So that is odd. I will have to look into this further...
*edit* I think I have it figured out now! Thank you for your help!

Had you removed the floor of the room above or something?

no, I was not in "walls up" mode, just as you said! I just wasn't sure what you meant at first :D
