Client Tools: Ceiling

Manage the ceiling options customers can choose, and where they appear.

Ceiling options are what a user picks from on a section's ceiling menu — the label, style, material, and where it is offered. Ceiling Level are where those ceilings render.

Ceiling is one of the Client Tools in SalesView, found in the left menu under Catalog Editor.

Not available on shed sites.

What you can change

  • Which ceiling options customers can choose

  • The label, style, and material for each

  • The image shown in the option selector

  • Where each option appears

  • The ceiling level on each wall footprint

Common tasks

Add a ceiling option

  1. Select + Add ceiling option.

  2. Start from a standard option with Load Ceiling for a solid surface, or Load No Ceiling for open to the roof. You can change anything afterwards, and nothing is written until you save.

  3. Enter the Label customers see on the ceiling menu.

  4. Choose a Style — flat for a solid, level plane, or rooflines to follow the roof pitch.

  5. Choose the Material that renders the surface.

  6. Select Generate icon to create the image shown in the selector.

  7. Select Add ceiling option.

Change where a ceiling option appears

  1. Open the option and select the Visibility tab.

  2. Set Shown on.

  3. To exclude particular buildings, tick them under Don't show on these building styles.

  4. Check the Resulting condition line, then save.

Set the ceiling level for a footprint

  1. Select the Ceiling Level tab.

  2. Select Edit on the footprint you want to change.

Good to know

  • The center section needs a ceiling level before its ceiling shows at all.

  • If your site is missing the standard options, Load Ceiling and Load No Ceiling fill them in rather than making you build each one by hand.
