Creating Slab (Floor)

We create structural floors and decks by sketching them.

We can sketch lines for the slab edges either by picking


walls or by using the Line tool.

Typically we will sketch a floor in a plan view.


Add a Structural Floor
1. Click Structural tab ➤ Structure panel ➤ Floor icon drop-down ➤ (Structural
Floor).

2. From the Type Selector, specify a structural floor type.

3. On the ribbon, click (Boundary Line).

4. Click (Pick line) and select the bounding walls/Beam.

5. Click (Span Direction).

6. (Optional) On the Options Bar:


■ specify an offset for slab edges.
■ select Extend into wall (to core).

7 . On the ribbon, click (Finish Edit Mode).


Add a Structural Floor
Note:-

Instead of picking Line/walls you can sketch a structural floor.


On the Draw panel of the ribbon, use the sketch tools to form the
boundary of the structural floor.

The sketch must form a closed loop or boundary condition.

Span Direction
When you place a structural floor, a span direction component is placed in
plan view along with the structural
floor. The span direction component is used to change the orientation span
direction is designated by the direction of the filled half-arrows.
