In this session we looking in detail at how to set up a wall style that uses Design Layers, Levels and Stories to control the elevations of the wall components and how to connect the wall components to slab components.
You can use the slab components to control how much of the slab is cut out. In this image the slab has been cut out one component at a time. If you need to have a set-down in the slab, you can use a component to control it.
Slabs are like walls. You can create slab styles that can be stored in your library so that you can use them on all your projects. If you set up your slab styles to work with your wall styles and stories, they will be easier to use, and when you…
When you set up your wall styles, make sure that you use your wall components to connect and control the slabs. This movie shows you how they connect if you set up the wall and slab styles; it does not show you how to set up the walls and slab…
Like walls, slabs can have components, so you can make slabs and ceilings that have several components. The slabs can link to walls and slab components can link to the wall components. So it is really important that you create your walls and slabs in relation to each other.
Introduction to BIM – BIM (Building Information Modeling) is not just about drawings, it is about the way you create your design. BIM is not so much about the model as it is about the activity of Building Information Modeling (creating the 3D, creating information and making that information available to…
Slab Style Library – The slab styles are stored in the same library as the wall styles.
Slab Styles – The slab works like a horizontal wall, and you can create slab styles that make it easy to create complex slabs. Slab styles work with wall styles.
Editing Slabs – A Slab can be edited to create holes, set-downs, or voids under the slab.
Slab Tool – The Slab tool is used to create more complex slab objects. Slabs can auto-bound to walls, which makes it very quick to use.
