- [Voiceover] There are many different types of sprinklers.…Some are ceiling mounted,…some are wall mounted,…and some just get stuck on the end of a pipe.…Although we can't cover every situation in this video…we'll cover the most common application…and that is adding sprinklers to a ceiling.…Adding sprinklers is identical to adding light fixtures.…This time with no exceptions other than the fact…that sprinkler heads show up as little dots.…Once we put one in,…we should cut a section to make sure it's mounted correctly,…then we can copy it around.…To get started,…in the Project Browser,…let's go to Sprinkler, Ceiling Plans,…one Ceiling Sprinkler.…
