Adjust floor slab edge to match wall location.

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:33:27 GMT

Hello,

I'm currently working on a project where the curtain walls slope outwards.

we are doing design studies in which the floor to floor heights keep changing.

is there a way in which when this happens the slab edge adjusts to the confines of a fixed curtain wall slope?

i.e when the slab moves up by a foot the edges move outward to meet the curtain wall, if it moves down it readjusts inward to meet cw.

any suggestions would be very helpful. thank you.

An image would help illustrate the issue...

Thank you. Its actually a project I cannot disclose. I tried to explain the issue to the best of my abilities, I can post a sketch if more clarification is needed.

I sincerely doubt it would disclose any relevant information tbh, seems like a rather generic thing which could occur in many projects... but sure, I think a sketch would be helpful. Trying to picture what's what, but it's still a bit abstract... 🙂

Just Group together the elements that talking about, right-click on the Group name in the Project Browser, press "Save Group" in the drop-down box to save it to an RVT. You can post that RVT. Afterwards, you can Ungroup the Group -- or just Undo those actions. 😉

you can try this. edit your curtain wall profile base on the slope of the floor, once you edit the curtain wall aligned to the face of the floor and lock. it will follow once the floor move and see if helps. thanks

I think this what you are trying to say

try to lock the slab edged to the curtain wall, try dimension constraint on that part

Ah could be. Are you using massing with the design study? Generating the floors/walls from that?...
