Need a Ceiling Tool

Revit Workflows and Auto Floors Builder are two 3rd party applications that tackle the task of creating floors more efficiently. Revit Workflows is focused on finish floors and Auto Floors Builder has a more structural focus. While I think Autodesk ought to tackle this sort of refinement directly it is great that there are some options.

Where are equivalent tools for creating ceilings? Is the API holding development back or are they just still on the drawing board? My inquiring mind is curious...

Hey Steve,
Creating Ceilings are not available in the API, but it has been on the wishlist for some time now. Fingers crossed for 2016

I've been looking for a Ceiling Creator for a while. Just something that creates a ceiling based on the Room Boundary shape.

I have one too... http://www.kiwicodes-support.com/14_Create_Floors_from_Rooms

It will take minutes to modify this to do the same for ceilings...

What are you waiting for then Phillip? :)

If the other comments are correct you can't yet?

My bad the ceilings are not available via the API... maybe via dynamo, although dynamo can only do what the API can...

Well at least once the API permits doing so it won't be a big deal to make it happen. :)

Has this been resolved in the 2016 API?
