Using Ceiling Grid Tools to Create Ceiling Grids
Tools in the software let you quickly place ceiling grids using a ceiling grid tool with a specific ceiling grid style and
other predefined properties. You can use the default settings of the tool, or you can change its properties. You can also
use ceiling grid tools to convert linework to ceiling grids and to apply the settings of a ceiling grid tool to existing
ceiling grids.
Tool palettes containing ceiling grid tools
The default tool palettes in the workspace contain sample ceiling grid tools that you can use and customize as needed.
In addition, the following catalogs provided with the software contain ceiling grid tools that you can add to your tool
palettes:

Custom palettes created by your CAD manager or other users may also contain ceiling grid tools with ceiling grid
properties that are customized for your projects or office standards.
