Today i want to focus on creating floor types.

Optionally you can sketch a foundation slab.
Click modify create floor boundary tabdraw panelboundary line and then click pick walls to select the walls in your model.
We can either use one of our different drawing tools such as just draw lines or draw a rectangular shape.
It s something i work with a lot when modelling and detailing in revit in this blog post i will share how i do it as well as a tip about cantilevers that i picked up recently from a colleague.
So now that we loosely know the process for creating precast hollowcore floor slabs in revit let s do a deep dive into the workflow so that you can become a master at creating hollowcore floors in revit.
Click structure tabfoundation panel slab specify a foundation slab type from the type selector.
Issues related to sloping of floors slabs varying the thickness of floors limits to sloping floors and the shortcoming of adding a slab edge to a sloped floor slab.
So in this article i will overview a few examples of how you can apply our revit add ons in our.
And not being able to slope a variable thickness floor.
