Is there a way to automatically create ceiling plenums for rooms? or do we need to create them in our modelling software. I work with IESVE mostly,
We currently don’t have this feature but we have all the infrastructure to add it to the Model Editor. It has been requested a few times but we weren’t fully ready to implement it.
Let me discuss this with @chriswmackey and get back to you.

Hey @franciscocontreras ,
As Mostapha says, auto-generating ceiling plenums for each room in a story is very do-able if the model is set up correctly. Am I right that you currently have a model where there is a gap in between the two stories that you would like to have filled with the ceiling plenum?
If so, would you be able to share this model with us via PM so that we can use it for testing? This way, we could make sure that the current auto-generation of plenums that we have implemented is actually what you want before we invest all the time that is needed to expose it on the model editor.
I actually just exported the spaces floor-to-floor (using extruded height) and used IESVE plenum generation tool to create the voids. That is my current workflow, but it left me thinking it would be great if I can jump that step as well and the geometry be ready.
