We need to be able to create ceilings programmatically - whether using Dynamo or the API. Ideally we would be able to create a ceiling object whose sketch is based on the boundary of a Room. Using Dynamo we can already create floors based on the geometry of the Room. But the API does not provide a way to create new ceilings. This would really help improve our BIM workflow.
Can we get this pushed out from the API please? We have hundreds of applications that require this immediately for Mechanical, Electrical and Architectural. Thank you.
@crthomas Workarounds....Always workarounds...But if you want ceilings to show with a thickness, material, etc and have it linked to parameters for scheduling, then this is it! Directshapes. They are a bit permanent, but it is a very fast way to create hundreds/thousands of ceilings in your project using a program or database related to room data. 🙂
I asked them the question at the last EU BiLT conference in Edinburgh, and the official answer was that apparently the code behind ceilings is too old to support the API, as the API was written into Revit after the code was created for ceilings. They will be looking into it, but I'm just amazed how that can possibly be the answer, I mean how many programmers do they need to rewrite the code for ceilings?! If they need 20 then hire 20... for the prices we pay for Revit it should be peanuts...
