# Catfish Keel
# Wall & Column Surface Construction Nodes
# Light Steel Keel Partition Wall
Detail node:
The matching keel specifications are built-in based on the partition wall type.
Select the partition wall reference to generate.

# Curtain Wall Component Keel
Suitable for various finishes created using curtain walls.
Be sure to pay attention to the inside/outside faces when creating curtain wall finishes. Panels extend outward from the location line; keel distance is calculated from the location line.
# Wood Veneer Panel
Includes hanging and adhesive installation methods.
# Stone Dry-Hanging with Back Bolts

In addition to regular spacing generation, a minimum spacing option has been added below.
Automatically adjusts to the base layer based on different spacing.
During operation, select the outer face of the corresponding curtain wall panel; the keel will be generated on the inner side.

# Aluminum Panel Dry-Hanging
Generates keel for aluminum panels.
# Ceiling Surface Construction Nodes
# Transfer Layer
Generates corresponding transfer layer and anti-sway bracing components based on hanger rod positions.

Common issue: null
# Gypsum Board Ceiling
The last parameter determines whether hanger rods are fixed length. If fixed, all rods are a specified length. If not fixed, rod lengths automatically adapt to the top structure, not exceeding 1500mm.
The keel combination type is displayed in the upper window, showing which keel combinations are used.
Steps: Click the keel surface → Select the main keel parallel line.
Steps: Click the keel surface → Select the main keel parallel line → Select the lower flat level secondary keel alignment reference.
Steps: Click the keel surface → Select the lower flat level secondary keel alignment reference.
Main keel setback controls the edge setback for openings, especially for light cove structures.

# Mineral Fiber Board Ceiling
Mineral fiber board ceilings must be created using sloped glazing. When generating, you can determine the main keel direction by selecting grid lines; the selected grid line is perpendicular to the generated main keel.

# Hook-on Aluminum Panel
Aluminum panel creation also uses sloped glazing. After selecting the sloped glazing, the second selection determines the Z-keel direction.

# Square Aluminum Clip-in Panel
Aluminum clip-in panel creation also uses sloped glazing. After selecting the sloped glazing, the second selection determines the triangular keel direction.

# Custom Clip Keel
This node is primarily for custom aluminum components with dedicated clip keels. More will be added in the future.
The ceiling components themselves need to be created using sloped glazing logic.
When creating sloped glazing, be sure to cancel the slope definition for flat surfaces — a 0-degree slope will affect keel generation.
