Floor Slimdek

[Anonymous]

Hi guys 

I would like to use Slimdek floor for my project and create a 3d section view trhough the building. I am having problems making the slimdek in 3d as even though it's shown cut in section once the view shifts to 3d the floor is shown as solid concrete slab. Do you have any ideas?

This is what I'm after. Thank you  in advance

What you see in a 2d section of the slab, is a 2d profile of the steel deck, which is not actual 3d geometry. If you want to see the slab in 3d with the ups and downs of the deck, you need to model the slab like that, as a model in place or as a loadable family.

I don’t believe you will be able to get the floor to show in 3D. 

You could try modeling the floor structure using a precast tee component.  Maybe modify the precast tee family to look like yours.

You could also try to do an in-place family and model the floor as an extrusion.

I would use in such case - Beam System :

1. first , create a new family > Structural Beam with the desired Profile
2. load the new Beam Family into the project
3. in Project : Structure > Beam System - make the contur and choose the Beam Direction -
4. in Properties >Pattern > Layout Rule - Clear Spacing and Clear Spacing = 0 ; Beam Type -chose the type created in step 1
5. using Line Work , override the line type between the beams - use Invisible Lines

1.
