Here at Ideate, we frequently get questions in the classroom from students – and we frequently get solutions from our students. I decided to document some of the solutions. This blog deals with how you can get the gypsum wall board to turn the corner between a ceiling and a bulkhead wall – so you do not see a line separating the materials.

Typically walls and ceilings have layers of materials and their function determines which is dominant when walls or ceilings meet. Core structural materials can be joined graphically so they appear correctly, when for example you join the structural layer of a floor to the structural layer of a wall.
This example shows a “fix” that lets you join the structural layers of a wall and a ceiling.
