Converting Slab Boundary AssociationsConverting Slab Boundary AssociationsManually drawn slabs can be associated with a set of walls, converting them to automatically bounded mode. Similarly, an automatically bounded slab can be associated with a new set of walls by this method.
To convert manual slabs to automatically bounded slabs:
Select the manual slab. In the Object Info palette, the Bounding mode displays Manual.
Click Pick Boundary from the Bounding list.
The Slab tool is automatically activated, and Inner Boundary mode is selected (Picked Walls mode can also be selected).
For Inner Boundary mode, click in an open area of the drawing that is bounded by walls. For Picked Walls mode, click each wall that forms the wall set and press Enter, or click the check mark button on the Tool bar.
The manual slab is associated with the wall set. Its location and size may change as it is bounded by the wall set.
Automatically bounded slabs can be converted to manual mode, releasing them from their association with walls.
To convert automatically bounded slabs to manual slabs:
Select the automatically bounded slab. In the Object Info palette, the Bounding mode displays Auto-Bounded.
Click Manual from the Bounding list.
The slab is disassociated from its wall set, though it remains in place.
