Ceiling grid layouts
Video coming soon — the written steps below cover everything.
Why grids are their own problem
In a lay-in ceiling, heads don't just need compliant spacing — they need to land in the tile pattern the architect drew, centered where the RCP shows them. Doing both by hand is the tedium.
Place heads in the grid
- Run Place Heads in Ceiling Grid over a room with a visible grid.
- SprinkFlow reads the room boundary and the tile pattern, and lays a per-room array — heads centered in tiles, spacing rules respected, including the minimum-separation rule between heads.
- Review the result room by room; the coverage audit flags anything the array couldn't satisfy so you can resolve it deliberately.
Tile snaps everywhere: even placing single heads, the smart snaps grab tile centers and grid lines — so a manual fix stays on-pattern.
