Ceiling Tool + Extended Zone
For a while now, there has been a need for a dedicated ceiling tool. I will use the example of a suspended ceiling below, but that is only one part of it.
Yes, we have all kinds of third-party add-ons but they tend to be extremely complex and, of course, only limited to the products from a specific supplier.
Off the top of my head we need the following functionality:
Want to be able to draw the suspended ceiling as a polygon/rectangle, but also be able to connect to a zone (accessory?)
There is also no possibility to add a value for ceiling height to a zone or similar. This is quite important and should work similar to subfloor thickness. The zone should then be modeled from top-of-slab to underside-slab. A new parameter is needed to identify ceiling height (FinishCeilingHeight) - similar how we can set subfloor thickness (FinishFloorHeight).
For the actual Ceiling Tool (which is the primary scope of this wish)
We need to be able to control the following:
- Ceiling grid
- Grid profile (including edge profiles)
- Color
- Mounting type (direct stick, suspended etc.)
- Headroom clearance above support structure (important for MEP installation and servicing)
- "Void fill"
- Ceiling tile
- Tile size
- Tile type (including swing tile type
- Edge type
- Color
- Installations (could be placeholder items only)
- Lighting?
- HVAC?
- Sprinkler?
- Speakers?
- Access panel?
- Must work with RenovationStatus
- Must work with DesignOptions
- Must be able to quantify on component level.
- Desirable to be able to control via MVO
- LOD - a bit like Stairs or CW, which parts should be visible
Im sure there is more - but let's start here and see what gets added on by others.
