Creating Automatically Bounded Slabs from Existing WallsCreating Automatically Bounded Slabs from Existing WallsThere are two ways to create automatically bounded slabs from existing walls: the Picked Walls mode and the Inner Boundary mode. Either mode can be used to create a slab from a closed set of connected walls; however, only Picked Walls mode can be used for Creating Slabs with Both Automatically Bounded and Manual Edges.
To create an automatically bounded slab within a selected set of walls:
Click the Slab tool from the Building Shell tool set, and select Picked Walls mode from the Tool bar.
If you want to create a new slab style, click Preferences from the Tool bar; see Creating Slab Styles.
Click Slab Style on the Tool bar. From the Resource Selector, locate the desired resource, and double-click to activate it.
Click each wall that forms the wall set and press Enter, or click the check mark button on the Tool bar.
The slab is created.
To create a slab within a closed set of visible walls:
Click the Slab tool from the Building Shell tool set, and select Inner Boundary mode from the Tool bar.
If you want to create a new slab style, click Preferences from the Tool bar; see Creating Slab Styles.
Click Slab Style on the Tool bar. From the Resource Selector, locate the desired resource, and double-click to activate it.
Click in an open area of the drawing that is bounded by walls; the walls must be visible, joined together, and on layers that have the same layer scale as the slab layer.
The slab is created.
