Create Floor Slab Component

Referring to the hierarchy, a floor slab component element must reside below an existing floor slab element.

From the Select Structural Element pane of the Building Applications window, make sure that the Floor Slab element is the CE.

On the Building tab, in the Create group, select Slab Component in the Create Element drop-down list.

Click Create Element to display the Create Floor Slab window.

By default in the Naming pane of the Create Floor Slab window, the application automatically populates the Name field with a name based on the project or company autonaming rules. Refer to Naming for further information.

The Use gaps in naming sequence checkbox is also selected by default, the user can select which auto name is to be used. To select the:

• first available name, click first available name.

• previous available name, click previous available name.

• next available name, click next available name.

• last available name, click last available name.

The user can change the name which does not conform to the autonaming rules, to do this, type a new name into the Name field. If this name already exists, an Error window is displayed. If the name does not conform with the autonaming rules, Apply remains greyed out as long as the name is not properly entered.
