Christiaan Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 What are people generally doing when they have a slab edge thickening? Do you model the whole slab manually or do you use the slab tool for the main part of the slab and then manually model the edge? Quote Link to comment
bc Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Manually. Edited July 10, 2012 by bc Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Create the slab and EAP for the thickening then join together. Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 What EAP stands for? Thanks Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 EAP = Extrude Along Path. Aloha! Quote Link to comment
Majic Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've used both EAP (Extrude Along a Path) and walls for the thickened slab areas. Now using the slab tool with clipping of the void(s) of the thickened thickened component. Still using EAP for the sloped transitition between the thickened portions and the nominally thick slab of SOGs (Slabs On Grade) or an average clipped transition component for quanity take-offs and annotating SLVs. Transition settings or a Multiple Clip--sort of a reverse Multiple Extrude-- for slab clipping would be GREAT! Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I use the slab tool, clipping out parts to create the edge, or I use walls to do it. Quote Link to comment
