Slabs- quick ways to use.

[Assembly]

Heading toward BIM slabs appear to have more smarts.

With a simple house I can see how using the walls to bind the slab is okay. But I want to use slabs for concrete out door also. I can trace out a poly line but this is too slow and dumb. The floor tool is good for the workflow to be able to give a dumb generic slab at the sketch design phase. I want to be able to easily convert this to a slab. Can it be done.

Surely there must be a convert poly to slab menu item somewhere?.

Anyone know?.

In Architect the Objects from Polyline command will convert 2D polylines or shapes into a variety of objects including Slabs. (Note this command is not included in Fundamentals.) In Vw 2012 it is included in the right click contextual menu and in the Modify menu
