slab tool now. 3 00:00:05.09 --> 00:00:10.07 So the slab tool is similar to the fill tool 4 00:00:10.07 --> 00:00:14.00 in a lot of ways, especially in the floor plan view, 5 00:00:14.00 --> 00:00:16.00 but let's go into that setting. 6 00:00:16.00 --> 00:00:19.05 So in the toolbox, I just double-click 7 00:00:19.05 --> 00:00:25.03 on this little flat plane object and that's the slab tool. 8 00:00:25.03 --> 00:00:28.02 So when I open it up, it gives me a few different options. 9 00:00:28.02 --> 00:00:33.01 So we have the composite style or the structure of the slab. 10 00:00:33.01 --> 00:00:35.01 And so we have either basic 11 00:00:35.01 --> 00:00:38.08 which means that there is no composite associated with it. 12 00:00:38.08 --> 00:00:43.00 And so that means that there's no different materials 13 00:00:43.00 --> 00:00:44.03 that are sandwiched together 14 00:00:44.03 --> 00:00:46.07 to kind of make the element itself. 15 00:00:46.07 --> 00:00:49.01 Or we can select the composite 16 00:00:49.01 --> 00:00:52.08 which is the sandwich of different materials 17 00:00:52.08 --> 00:00:54.00 that make it up. 18 00:00:54.00 --> 00:00:55.02 I'm going to use the composite. 19 00:00:55.02 --> 00:01:01.06 So let's select the floor generic 10 inch F01. 20 00:01:01.06 --> 00:01:06.02 And you can also select where the reference plane is. 21 00:01:06.02 --> 00:01:08.06 So that means like if you're placing this 22 00:01:08.06 --> 00:01:10.08 onto the first floor 23 00:01:10.08 --> 00:01:14.04 and zero is the reference plane 24 00:01:14.04 --> 00:01:17.09 then the top of that slab will be at zero, 25 00:01:17.09 --> 00:01:21.00 versus if you select the bottom of that reference plane 26 00:01:21.00 --> 00:01:24.02 then the bottom of that slab will be at zero. 27 00:01:24.02 --> 00:01:31.00 Or you can select the top of the structure of the slab. 28 00:01:31.00 --> 00:01:33.07 So if you had like carpet or some other material 29 00:01:33.07 --> 00:01:38.01 that wasn't actually something that needed to be at zero 30 00:01:38.01 --> 00:01:40.01 but your not finished floor 31 00:01:40.01 --> 00:01:44.04 but your slab or your wood deck was at zero, 32 00:01:44.04 --> 00:01:46.01 then you might want to choose this. 33 00:01:46.01 --> 00:01:48.08 I'm going to choose this one just because for me 34 00:01:48.08 --> 00:01:50.08 that makes the most sense. 35 00:01:50.08 --> 00:01:53.07 I'm not measuring necessarily the finished floor zero. 36 00:01:53.07 --> 00:01:55.06 I'm probably going to manage to structure 37 00:01:55.06 --> 00:01:58.03 as the core of the structure at zero. 38 00:01:58.03 --> 00:02:01.00 And then you can select which floor it goes on. 39 00:02:01.00 --> 00:02:03.01 So if you wanted it to be on a different floor 40 00:02:03.01 --> 00:02:05.03 than the one you're working on for some reason 41 00:02:05.03 --> 00:02:07.02 you could select there. 42 00:02:07.02 --> 00:02:10.02 And then you could also adjust the height. 43 00:02:10.02 --> 00:02:14.08 So if you wanted it to be two feet above your current floor, 44 00:02:14.08 --> 00:02:16.03 so say if you had a mezzanine 45 00:02:16.03 --> 00:02:20.01 or some transition in the horizontal plane, 46 00:02:20.01 --> 00:02:22.05 then you could adjust it there. 47 00:02:22.05 --> 00:02:25.04 And then you can also adjust how it shows up. 48 00:02:25.04 --> 00:02:29.01 So if you want it to show up on multiple different stories 49 00:02:29.01 --> 00:02:33.03 even though its home story is the first floor 50 00:02:33.03 --> 00:02:34.04 you could do that here. 51 00:02:34.04 --> 00:02:37.01 So you could say show on all stories. 52 00:02:37.01 --> 00:02:39.02 So for instance, again, if you had a mezzanine 53 00:02:39.02 --> 00:02:43.02 or some interstitial floor that was between two floors 54 00:02:43.02 --> 00:02:45.08 but it needed to show up on three different floors 55 00:02:45.08 --> 00:02:47.09 then you could do that here. 56 00:02:47.09 --> 00:02:51.04 And then you can override the cut fill. 57 00:02:51.04 --> 00:02:54.05 So if you wanted it to look differently 58 00:02:54.05 --> 00:02:56.09 than what the element itself 59 00:02:56.09 --> 00:02:59.05 or the building materials were showing, you'd do that here. 60 00:02:59.05 --> 00:03:01.06 You can also give it a cover fill. 61 00:03:01.06 --> 00:03:07.03 If you want it to show up with concrete or carpet 62 00:03:07.03 --> 00:03:11.04 or something of that nature, you could do that here. 63 00:03:11.04 --> 00:03:16.02 So for now I think what I'll do is I'll choose concr, 64 00:03:16.02 --> 00:03:18.02 well, it's actually wood. 65 00:03:18.02 --> 00:03:21.03 So since it is wood, it would be a little confusing. 66 00:03:21.03 --> 00:03:26.04 I'm just going to not use a cover fill at this moment. 67 00:03:26.04 --> 00:03:28.02 I'm going to deselect that. 68 00:03:28.02 --> 00:03:30.03 And then it already, with the model, 69 00:03:30.03 --> 00:03:32.09 the surface elements itself 70 00:03:32.09 --> 00:03:35.09 you can adjust what the top surface is, 71 00:03:35.09 --> 00:03:37.08 you can adjust what the side surface is 72 00:03:37.08 --> 00:03:39.07 or the bottom surface is. 73 00:03:39.07 --> 00:03:43.03 So that's helpful if you're creating a rendering 74 00:03:43.03 --> 00:03:46.07 and you wanted it to show up as carpet 75 00:03:46.07 --> 00:03:49.06 but it was actually this generic floor material. 76 00:03:49.06 --> 00:03:51.09 So it just gives you a little bit more options. 77 00:03:51.09 --> 00:03:55.00 Then you can select the layer. 78 00:03:55.00 --> 00:03:58.05 So I'm going to choose, I think this makes sense. 79 00:03:58.05 --> 00:04:02.02 So it is a floor, so I'm going to choose floor 80 00:04:02.02 --> 00:04:05.02 and then we'll say okay. 81 00:04:05.02 --> 00:04:07.08 Up here it has a few different geometry methods. 82 00:04:07.08 --> 00:04:09.04 So you can use the polygon method, 83 00:04:09.04 --> 00:04:11.00 which we talked about before. 84 00:04:11.00 --> 00:04:13.08 You can use a rectilinear construction method 85 00:04:13.08 --> 00:04:17.04 or you can use an angular rectilinear method. 86 00:04:17.04 --> 00:04:19.06 I'm going to use the polygon method 87 00:04:19.06 --> 00:04:22.09 because I don't think that this is a perfect rectangle. 88 00:04:22.09 --> 00:04:26.08 And again, similar to what we had worked on before 89 00:04:26.08 --> 00:04:30.08 with the fill and the zone, we can just go over 90 00:04:30.08 --> 00:04:33.03 and I can select my space bar 91 00:04:33.03 --> 00:04:36.07 and I can use the space bar or the magic wand, 92 00:04:36.07 --> 00:04:40.01 and I can click and let's see here. 93 00:04:40.01 --> 00:04:41.07 So there it is. 94 00:04:41.07 --> 00:04:44.05 Just by selecting, using the magic wand 95 00:04:44.05 --> 00:04:48.01 by pushing the space bar, I'm able to create that slab. 96 00:04:48.01 --> 00:04:50.02 And let's look at it in 3D. 97 00:04:50.02 --> 00:04:56.02 So if I go to view and let's look at show all in 3D, 98 00:04:56.02 --> 00:04:57.04 and there it is. 99 00:04:57.04 --> 00:05:03.02 So that is the slab that we just created. 100 00:05:03.02 --> 00:05:05.03 So let's go back to the floor plan. 101 00:05:05.03 --> 00:05:08.06 So if I just click up here and go back to the floor plan. 102 00:05:08.06 --> 00:05:13.07 So that works, let's create a slab for this sidewalk. 103 00:05:13.07 --> 00:05:18.06 So I already have my slab tool selected, or I did. 104 00:05:18.06 --> 00:05:23.06 And so let's put this on a actual slab instead of a floor 105 00:05:23.06 --> 00:05:26.00 'cause that's more appropriate. 106 00:05:26.00 --> 00:05:30.09 And now let's change it from this composite 107 00:05:30.09 --> 00:05:34.05 and let's just choose a simple volume 108 00:05:34.05 --> 00:05:37.08 and let's just give it a concrete site work. 109 00:05:37.08 --> 00:05:40.04 So I'm just going to choose the building material 110 00:05:40.04 --> 00:05:46.02 concrete site work, and I'm going to do the polygonal method 111 00:05:46.02 --> 00:05:49.01 but I could also just use the space bar. 112 00:05:49.01 --> 00:05:51.06 And one thing to be cognizant of 113 00:05:51.06 --> 00:05:54.01 is if you push the space bar and you see 114 00:05:54.01 --> 00:05:56.00 that blue line around, 115 00:05:56.00 --> 00:06:00.01 that is where it's to create the slab. 116 00:06:00.01 --> 00:06:03.03 But if I move it up, I'm still holding the space bar, 117 00:06:03.03 --> 00:06:05.07 I can see that if I get on the edge 118 00:06:05.07 --> 00:06:07.05 that it's going to make a slab 119 00:06:07.05 --> 00:06:12.00 around the entire fill itself versus inside of this area 120 00:06:12.00 --> 00:06:16.05 because this line here is causing it to want to stop. 121 00:06:16.05 --> 00:06:24.06 So let's just quickly make that sidewalk. 122 00:06:24.06 --> 00:06:28.04 So I'm clicking each of the edges 123 00:06:28.04 --> 00:06:31.03 or the nodes or the intersections there. 124 00:06:31.03 --> 00:06:33.06 And I'm just going to make a mistake on purpose here. 125 00:06:33.06 --> 00:06:35.02 Whoops, I just, nope, 126 00:06:35.02 --> 00:06:37.04 that's not exactly what I wanted to do. 127 00:06:37.04 --> 00:06:40.05 So what do I do to get back without losing 128 00:06:40.05 --> 00:06:42.06 all of the work that I just did? 129 00:06:42.06 --> 00:06:46.03 I just push the delete button and it allows me 130 00:06:46.03 --> 00:06:47.04 to go back one node. 131 00:06:47.04 --> 00:06:49.06 And maybe I made two mistakes. 132 00:06:49.06 --> 00:06:53.00 I could push delete again and I've just gone back again. 133 00:06:53.00 --> 00:06:54.07 So very useful, very helpful. 134 00:06:54.07 --> 00:06:56.00 Especially when you're doing things 135 00:06:56.00 --> 00:07:00.09 that have lots of clicks to execute. 136 00:07:00.09 --> 00:07:07.01 And now I can just finish that and click and there we go. 137 00:07:07.01 --> 00:07:09.02 So let's look at that again in 3D. 138 00:07:09.02 --> 00:07:12.06 So if I go to view, elements in 3D view, 139 00:07:12.06 --> 00:07:14.08 and then I go show all in 3D 140 00:07:14.08 --> 00:07:19.09 and now I have my sidewalk and I have my first floor plate. 141 00:07:19.09 --> 00:07:21.04 So that's slabs. 11572
