KIT KOLLMEYER Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 It's very useful the way roof objects are able to clip walls and walls are able to clip components of roof objects. I'd like that same function for slabs. I explain a real world use of that feature here: https://www.loom.com/share/7d16e12165794aeeb70d711381bc8f5f?sid=767f37ae-8c67-43de-9451-665f308c64ab Thanks Kit Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 You know that an auto-bound Slab will already clip Wall components? But only around the perimeter: not watched your video but definitely be good for example if the structural component of an internal Wall would automatically clip the floor finish component + ceiling finish component of Slabs.

0 KIT KOLLMEYER Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yes, that's right, and auto-bound scan will only clip wall components at the perimeter. But that's not exactly what I'm talking about. The example in the video was of an internal wall that needs the ceiling to be clipped on one side and not the other. I think it would make sense if slabs had the same abilities as roofs, to clip or be clipped. Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Have watched the video now! Yes that is exactly what I meant in my post: the ability for an internal Wall to clip the underside of a Slab. Or the bottom of a Wall to clip the floor finish. Very desirable + gets my vote. I generally draw floor finish Slabs + ceiling Slabs as separate objects + this would mean I wouldn't need to + be a lot easier. As I'm sure you know, another option at present - instead of drawing two separate ceiling Slabs either side of your internal Wall - would be to clip the Slab in Top/Plan with a 2D shape + have the clipping affect just the bottom component. But this gets really messy if you do it on a large scale as hard to keep track of the modifiers + a pain to edit them. But if it was just a one-off... Quote Link to comment
0 Diego - Resuelvector Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Yes, a quick fix in your situation, could be to use a 2D polygon to clip the underside of the slab, It would give you the desired section detail Edited October 4, 2023 by Diego - Resuelvector typo Quote Link to comment
0 KIT KOLLMEYER Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Thanks Diego and Tom, yes that's what I did. I don't like that every time a wall moves in design I'll need to manually adjust the clip boundary. That's the sort of thing that is missed in a minor change... not very BIM. 1 Quote Link to comment
