The ceiling grid tool is very handy when it comes to actual grids and their adjustments.
However, we are in the BIM world now and we can't adjust the thickness of suspended ceiling panels!!! (Unless this has been changed in 2020, I'm still in 2019.)
Also, we can't adjust the type, form or dimensions of the profile system.
We need tool a that can be used in a PROFESSIONAL BIM workflow, please.
There are workarounds with the slab tool, but then that tool doesn't create any grids, does it.
Current ceiling grid 3D thickness is one inch. The profiles are a bit more. Take it or leave it. I can't display the grid my sections since, depending on the case, the correct thickness is eg. 40mm + 50mm for the profile system.
BTW The profile system could be extrusion-based like suggested for window frames, maybe also the panels.
Edit: Well, apparently one can push/pull the ceiling grid...however it creates a solid slab.
