Need your expertise fellas,

I am working on a floor plan and I want to overlay the RCP (ceiling tiles), is that possible? Currently what I did was convert the RCP to dwg and linked it but sounds a little dumb. Is there a proper way to do it?

Thank you very much.

Just go the Properties window...Find Underlay...select the floor of the same floor your working in and change the Underlay Orientation to Reflected Ceiling Plan... ;)

Thanks, that's what I did the first time but still the ceiling grids didn't showed up. I even played with the view range and still not happening.

Could that be my view range is off? But I tried adjusting the top range to be the height of the floor above and the height of the dropped ceiling but still..

I have read somewhere long time ago that this is not possible, which is I didn't have a time to research more because of the deadline and that is the idea that came to my mind.

Do you want to see your reflected ceiling plan in the floor plan? is that what you are trying to do?

What shows you the ceiling plan?
