Compound ceilings

In general, compound ceilings are taken into account during a BIM import. If no room or space (e.g. a plenum) is located above the compound ceiling, the height of the rooms is increased until it hits the top side of the slabs in the room above. This is done since the calculations in Vabi Elements require all rooms to be fixed together.
