Ceiling Framing Estimates

Problem

why doesn't it give me ceiling framing?
hits ceiling framing button in room remodeling addition, but doesn't get any ceiling framing on Structural card.

Diagnosis

If ceiling is set to exterior, it's considered as roof framing rather than as independent ceiling framing by BidMagic Construction Estimating Software

Solution

explain that when they have roof framing, often there is no need for independent ceiling framing-- the ceiling is attached to the bottom of truss rafters (flat ceiling), or to plain roof rafters (sloped ceiling). So we don't suggest any independent ceiling framing.
If they do have ceiling framing independent of the roof framing for part or all of the room, they will need to add its area on the Structural card.

Comments

Sorry, we set it up for what is the more common case (in our experience).
