Architecture Add Ceiling Bulkhead Around Selected Mep Services
Coming soon
Before you run this
One or more MEP elements selected (ducts / pipes / trays / fittings). A ceiling type for bulkheads exists in the project. Active level and room ceiling height defined.
After it runs
One ceiling element placed below the selected services' bounding box at the configured clearance, sized to the run's footprint plus the configured edge margin.
When to use this
- You've routed a duct / cable tray run that won't fit in the ceiling void and you need a localised bulkhead built around it — typically corridor crossings or service drops to plant.
Don't use this when
Bulkheads along a single wall (use the matching wall command), full coffered ceilings, or services that should stay visible (e.g. exposed-services schemes).
Decision flow
1. Read the selected MEP elements and compute their combined bounding box. 2. Add the configured edge margin and read the clearance below the lowest element. 3. Project the box onto the active level. 4. Place a Ceiling element in one Transaction at the bulkhead height. 5. Report the bulkhead id and the services it covers.
What you'll see in the chat
on start
I'll wrap a bulkhead around those services now — reading their footprint first.
thinking
Computing the combined bounding box of the selected services and dropping a ceiling soffit below.
on success
Done — bulkhead placed below {n_services} services at {clearance} mm clearance.
on failure
Couldn't add the services bulkhead: {error}.
