ArchiCAD 21 manubim.com Ceiling Editor v2.01

Is there an update for this object so it works with ArchiCAD 21?

If you try to activate the Accessories palette the UI disappears and the palette does not appear.

Or is there an alternative way of doing suspended ceilings? My initial thought was to use the Curtain Walling Tool

Not sure about the manubim ceiling editor tool - but if it no longer works check out the following...

...which works really well.

Hi All, the Ceiling Editor is developed by manuBIM, it is not our development, so please direct you inquiries about bugs, to them! Tx

They don't seem to have anything to do with the Ceiling Editor now.
They now supply keyrings and other trinkets

There is a lot of GLOBAL*'s in parameters script and masterscript and removing them is not a small job (I tried - the script is open).

funny thing is it worked in 20 but stopped in 21...

The object works unless the user wishes to add an accessory...
(I have made the modification to this object so the ceiling area is schedulable...the modification is described in this subforum)

Maybe when having spare time I will get back to this object....

Hi Piotr. I cannot find the link to the subforum where your semi-working version of ceiling editor is available - could you please post it? Or at least a direct link to the object?

Does it work under AC22?

For me, a number of things are not working correctly under AC22, in addition to ceiling accessories - it seems impossible to resize a placed ceiling for example, or to apply a material to ceiling tiles

However I dont get it to work properly regarding the area. With the hack from Piotr I first get area = 7,2 m2 for all objects no matter the actual area. If I select one ceiling object and add something to its ID the area get updated for that particular object... I used the object as a zone accessory and after some more investigation the area works but not with cilings placed as zone accessory...oh my, Clickable gridlines works like charm.
