Curtainwall as ceilingplans

Hi!

If someone hasn't thought of it, you could use curtainwall to make your ceilingplans. And you get much better result than use slabs with a fill.

Now they can add another icon to the toolbar and list it as a new feature.

NO, NO, NO!!!
That would mean tool consolidation and it will make the software too easy to use (search for the discussion about separating the Section and Elevation tool). We need more and more icons to keep things simple.
The next tool to spawn more icons should be the 3D document. We need different 3D document icons for:

1. axons
2. isometric
3. perspectives
4. elevations
5. floor plans
6. sections
7. and variations with different cutaways

Thus we WIN the battle of icons since we have MORE tools than any other software therefore we have the Best Software Package.
