Following floor slope of linked floor

[Anonymous]

We are looking to add floor finishes to the structural mode. Normally that is easy, but for the parking basement there are many slopes. Is there an easy way to keep a 3f floor aligned to be coating a structural floor below without having to redo the floor in 3d all the time if the model updates?

For example, structure has a slope floor in the basement, we want to add a thin layer floor for the floor finish. the easiest thing is to draw the floor flat on top, but that does not work in section. Can I somehow follow the slope of the structural floor right under autmatically?

It would be better to assign the finish layer in the compound floor in the structural model.

It is not legally possible since our models are separated by mandate. We are responsible for the finishes and they are  responsible for the slabs. they would never agree to have our elements in their models and actually we would not want that either since we would not be able to edit them or specify them.

Perhaps you could Copy/Monitor in their floors, and then model your finishes over the copy/monitored floor.

Probably the next best way if finish can't be in their model.

Copy monitor the linked structural floor and map it to a different Floor Type.  You can change the Level Offset value to bring it above the structural floor.

Thanks @ToanDN! Pretty straightforward answer!

did this work?

I thought once you copy/monitor a floor with slopes, the slopes get flattened/deleted. So the slab that got copied over has no slopes.
