Help to create False ceiling element from rooms

x1

Dear all,
I am trying to create false ceiling element from the rooms; i retrived the bounding box and got struck. Please guide me how to take this to create the false ceiling elements.
Thanks in advance

Hi @ksultanahamed ,
What kind of element are you trying to place? how do you want to place them ?

Basically, we want to host MEP elements on it. I prefer as solid element (of some False ceiling family). Is it possible to automate say, select all the second floor rooms and convert into False ceiling at certain height.
Sorry. If I am asking too much.
Thanks

My bad i misunderstood at first. I thought you wanted to place elements on a ceiling, not create the ceiling itself. Unfortunately the API exposes no way to create à ceiling .
You can create ceiling geometry using direct shape though . It will be categorized as ceilings (for scheduling etc.) but wont be as flexible as an actual ceiling element created through UI.

Something like this:

The geometry created this way can host face based families (not ceiling based)

Oh!! at least I came to know this now, thanks for your time.
