Ceiling Coordination Studio FAQ — MEP Tools

Common questions about plans, mobile, exports, and the compliance checks.

Which plan do I need?

Ceiling Coordination Studio is a Pro-and-above tool. See Plans & payments for what's included at each tier.

Can I use it on my phone?

You can open and view a previously saved project on a phone or narrow window, but you can't create or edit the layout there — it opens as a view-only viewer. Use a desktop-width screen to edit.

Is there a 3D view?

No. Ceiling Coordination Studio is a 2D cross-section editor only.

Can I export to DXF or IFC?

No. The only export is a PNG or JPG image of the section — see Exporting an image.

What does Auto arrange actually check?

It lays the zones and services out against the same coordination checks and thresholds shown in the Validation and Rule Set panels, so a layout it produces should already be close to compliant. See Auto arrange.

Can I change the compliance thresholds for my project?

Yes — the Zone B minimum width, ELV / non-ELV separation, Clearance above dry tray, and Arm's reach limit are all project-editable within a bounded range. See Rule set.

Will an older saved project still open correctly?

Yes. Fields added since your project was last saved (rule set, linked-zones state, zone enabled flags, service and branch names) are backfilled automatically when the file loads.
