Ceilings are also Split Automatically by Hero when any adjacent Floors are detected on the Level above. This can occur after a new Zone has been created or when Floors or Ceilings are moved.

Hero’s Automatic Splitting Feature is a very handy tool that removes the requirement to manually split and connect adjacent spaces. However there are occasions where manual User adjustment or overriding of the adjacency & other construction properties (assembly & insulation) of automatically split Floors & Ceilings is required after a split. For example in the image below, a Zone’s Ceilings have been split into 3 Ceilings with 2 adjacent Internal connections to Floors above, but also a third Ceiling “CEIL 05” which has an initial default adjacency of “External” and Construction “FLAT-01” which is inappropriate. In this example, the User would be best to set CEIL 05 to Neighbouring Adjacency which will then trigger a Construction change & update too (typically to CEIL-01 assembly), as this section has an Adiabatic Adjacency condition that should be ignored in a Chenath simulation (e.g. no temperature difference, only internal mass of materials). |

Offset Points
Ceilings can have Points added to their polygon shape after they’ve been created.
