Create Ceilings via Dynamo or API

[crthomas]

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.

@harlan_brumm Thank you for that exciting news! Oh the things we can do with this 🙂 Thank you factory team!

@Jensm_BIG Agree with you 100% 
This thing should be done. If Im able to generate floor in dynamo I should be able to do ceiling !
Come on guys this is going on for more than 4 years. Just do it. Please.
