Illusion is the key to making a round room.

The term H after a pixel number is Horizonal and V is Vertical, indicating positions on the ruler. Use File/Save as... to save as a UFO file frequently

Select Path Drawing Tool. Click Path solid shapes button on Attribute bar. Click the Ellipse shape and draw a horizontal ellipse with the upper left hand corner at 30 V and 70 H. Pull the mouse across to end at 120 V and 420 H markings.

		At this point you can decided if you will be using a open door at the far end of the room or a closed opening. Dark shades produced by a source of light are controlled by the Light attribute. This setting is for a closed room but with a focus on a lighted object such as a stainglass window. Experiment to get the shadow effect you need.
Make sure Highlight Point is on in Left box above preview window. Select light 1 Spot and move red dots to the lower half. Use Direct for light 2 move red dots to lower half of circle. UNCHECK Shadow. Use the Add button to save this preset to your Material Gallery.
Now is a good time to File/ Save as... Save the ceiling as an object in your Image Gallery. You will be duplicating it 3 times through-out the tutorial.. Duplicate once (Keyboard Control and drag mouse) now and click on your Material box on the Attribute bar.		You can add a shadow effect to the trim in order to give it some definition. Or you can use a different color usually a shade darker. Use the Preview under the Material Button for fast results.

Change the bevel to 3d Pipe/Bevel- Border:2, Depth:10. You can leave it placed on top of the ceiling. Save as an object in your Image Gallery.
