Room numbers and ceiling grid

My architectural partners require me to provide ceiling grid when designing
lighting.
Where I can find it?

That's in those hidden ADT menus. I'm busy trying to find out how to make
them appear myself. =D

For now you can type CEILINGGRIDADD.

Or you can just use MEP Common -> Grids -> Add Ceiling Grid 😉

As for room tags (which was in the subject) you can just click on
Documentation -> Schedule Tags -> Room and Finish tags. For most tags, I
just press Ctrl-2 and then navigate to where I want in Design center, but
that's just me...

If you want the ADT menu along with the building systems menus here's the
procedure that I had to follow to get them to look correct (warning, my
machine has been through a number of install / uninstalls, so it may be
possible that I'm doing some steps that you don't need to do, or miss some
that you need to, but here's the procedure).

1. Launch Building Systems
2. Type Menuload
3. Click Browse
4. Navigate to c:\Program Files\Autodesk Building Systems 3\Support
5. In the File of Types dropdown (bottom of dialog) select Menu Template
(*.mnu)
6. Highlight the file called AECArchX.mnu and press Open
7. Click the Load Button
8. Click Yes to the AutoCAD Warning dialog.
9. Click the MenuBar tab
10. In the Menu Bar list select Documentation and click <
11. In the Menu Bar list select Desktop and click <
12. In the Menu Group dropdown select AecArchX
13. In the Menus list select Desktop
14. In the Menu Bar select Window and click Insert>>
15. In the Menus list select Documentation above Desktop and click Insert
14. In Menus select Design (above Desktop) and click Insert>>
16. In Menus select Concept and click Insert>>
17. Click the Close button

You're done.

Note, you may get two help menu's. ADT likes to keep adding it's menu
structure back to the menu bar (including the help menu), so if it bothers
you, you can remove the building systems help menu 😞

Looks like you have the makings of the first tech support document for the ABS knowledge
base.

Thanks Jason. I should have known all of this, but I couldn't find the ADT
menus yesterday. Guess I was looking for an .mns file instead of .mnu.
