TMM Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 If I have a cantilever slab that needs a fascio on the outside to cap the slab, do I need to just make a separate wall to cap it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Mat Caird Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 There are a number of ways; You could draw a rectangle in this section orientation and extrude it - probably easiest method but mayn't show correctly in top/plan. You could draw a rectangle in top/plan view, the AEC|Floor - a bit more fiddly than method 1. You could delve into the render setting of the slab you've drawn, and change the "sides" texture to appear how you want. - this might look good in elevation but won't be noticeable in the section view. I've been using the framing member tool to draw fascias, and it works quite well. Making a new wall style to cap it is probably the most hassle. - I'd personally avoid that approach. Here attached an example using the framing member tool; 1 Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Another option which may or may not be applicable in your case depending on the construction is to draw the fascia as a 3D solid then use the 'Add 3D Solid to Slab' command to incorporate it into the Slab. The command allows you to add material to existing Slab components so in affect wrap a component around the edge of the Slab. It depends what material you want the fascia to be: part of the Slab or a separate planted on element. Quote Link to comment
