Hi
I want to create a raster ceiling with about 100x100 millimeter squares but I can't figure out the proper way to do this.
This is what I've come up with so far - I created a Roof instead of a Ceiling and then I chosed "Sloped Glazing" as the type. I then modified the mullions to fit my needs, they are 25x40 millimeters. I also changed the Curtain Panel to "Empty". All good so far but the problem begins when I try to set the fixed distance to 100 mm as the ceiling itself is 20x80 meters. Revit tells me that the maximum gridlines of 200 is exceeded and tells me to split the affected walls(?) "if I really need this many type driven grid lines".
I totally understand this problem and I'm sure there must be a much better way to do this... But how??
Thanks in advance.

Logically speaking, if you were to execute such a ceiling (20 x 80 meters!!), you would split it into several parts with control/Expansion joints. Hence, do it that way using slopped glazing
OR use 2 Beam Systems as per below GIF

As I said - I'm new to Revit and I like to explore many different solutions just to learn the best way to face a problem. Yes it may be easy to model up but next time it may be not so easy.
I was just curious to know how that 3rd party family was meant to be implemented. Nothing more, nothing less.
Trying a beam system now...
It is just a generic model created from importing 3d geometry from another application into the Revit family as freeform elements. There are some materiality and product data, but they are not parametric in terms of geometry.
If you are doing design then use beam systems or sloped glazing for flexibility. Both sloped glazing and beam system have member quantity limits so simply create your very large design from composition of smaller areas.
