Switching to Sims 4 camera as suggested in this thread didn't help you ?

I'm getting some clarification on this before adding.  You can encounter similar errors using the TS4 camera as well, if you use CTRL+ to change the camera angle such that it is facing below ceiling level.  I would tend to see this as expected behavior, since the behavior allows you to place objects at a lower level than the level your camera is on, based on the angle.  If this behavior was changed, you would need to drop down a level to place objects on a lower level, which could be quite inconvenient (think working on an outdoor space).

@BryonyRae 
Personally I think the hight of where this error shows is too high still. But the main issue is, it shows the roof on top of the room, not inside of it. 

On this angle you can place the roof on the edge but not in the middle on top of the room. 

 

I'm impressed you got your camera to that point with the TS4 camera, I can't seem to even get close.

@simdigo  For now, just switch to Sims 4 camera in-game rather than the Sims 3 camera. That was what worked for us when we tested. Please read the whole thread to see this part. Anyway, once the issue is fixed they should mark it so in the bug report, as this thread is attached to a bug report. You can go to the first page of this report and mark 'me too' on the first, bug-report post. This is actually helpful. Thanks!
