Drawing slabs manually

To draw a manual slab object that is not associated with any walls:

1.      Click the tool and mode.

A slab can also be created by drawing a polyline and then selecting the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creating objects from shapes).

2.Do one of the following:

●       Click Slab Style on the Tool bar to select a resource from the Resource Selector.

●       Click Preferences to open the Slab Preferences dialog box and specify the tool’s default parameters. See Slab preferences.

The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.

3.Similarly to drawing a polygon, create a closed slab shape.

Double-click while drawing to close the slab automatically.
