Ceiling Tool!

We need a ceiling tool. We currently use slab or roof tool to model our ceilings. We do projects that are generally a mixture of exposed structure and finished ceiling elements. There is no way currently to model a ceiling that automatically displays a hidden line outline in plan and show up as solid with hatches in RCP, pretty basic drafting convention. We have to model for one view and generate manual fills for the other.

It would also be awesome if there was an acoustical ceiling grid tool that would function similar to the curtain wall tool. It would allow schemes to be setup and panels to be switched between tiles, lights diffusers, etc... then light / diffusers would move along with the grid.

This would be a huge performance and coordination boost to our practice. It only makes sense that this basic building element deserves a tool of its own.
