Oh sry, premature post. I've figured out one of my two questions, so now I only need help with this one. How do you create a 4' x 4' ceilting tile system? I tried going down the route on changing the 2' x 2', but found the options of revising that system resulted in only being able to change the thickness and viewing attributes. I'm new at this so forgive me if I'm over looking sometihng easy,

You'll need to create a new material and set the new system to utilise that material.

1. Duplicate the material that the 2'x2' is using.
2. Rename appropriately for the 4'x4'
3. For the surface pattern, click on the ...
4. Select the "Model" Pattern type radio button
5. If you have a 4'x4' pattern already select that and hit okay, if not select new and create a new crosshatch with these dimensions and name it appropriately.
6. OK
7. OK

Ensure your new ceiling type using this new material and it will display properly in your RCP.

HTH.

I'm in process of finishing a mixing room with 18 inches thick of R30 pink fiberglass between ceiling joists. Room details noted below. I wish to finish with a drop ceiling tile that will not compromise absorption potential of R30 ceiling treatment. Are drop ceiling tiles with NRC rating .55 acceptable for this purpose?

More specifically: 1. Is NRC 0.55 acceptable above mix position where reflection free zone is critical? If not, what (if any) tile is acceptable here? 2. Is NRC 0.55 ok for remaining zones of room where 18 inch R30 ceiling treatment is intended as bass trapping? My last resort is to use a fabric ceiling as recommend in other threads. Thanks in advance!

Room Details (plan): -7.25' x 10' by 16.5' room dimensions (basement) -superchunks in wall to wall corners (rockwool 6 pounds per cubic foot) -15 panels 4' x 2', 4 to 6 inch thick (703 rigid fiberglass) - drop ceiling system attaches directly to joist only consuming 1 inch headroom.roof contractors
