Revit 09 How do you cut a hole in the generic 12" floor slab

[Anonymous]

I am just learning Revit and I can not figure out how to cut a hole in a second floor 12" Generic.
I am also having problems seeing my stairs through the second floor.

Click on the slab to highlight it, click on edit,
then on the design bar click on lines, then look at your options bar and you
will see that you various options in addtion to just drawing lines, choose
whatever you want draw the desired opening in the slab, click finish and Revit
automatically knows that you have cut something out of the slab. So your opening
shouldd be there.

You can cut an Opening in the floor slab by going to the Modeling Tab and toward the bottom Pick Opening and by Face. Drawing a Pink line showing the opening size and finish sketch.

You can also, Select the slab, at the top of the drawing window you should see an EDIT button. Click that and then draw lines for the opening.

When you click on the second floor slab you should be able to see the stairs ghosted under it. You then can trace the stairs to create the opening.

Hope this helps.
