My slab has gravel underneath it. I've included this as a substrate.
When I lay this slab atop of the foundation footing, I want to be able to take away this substrate: I don't want the gravel between the bottom of my slab and the top of my foundation footing.
How can I take it away?

You can try using " Parts"
Most important, is the view properties, Parts visibility.. keep " Show Parts " otherwise this entire exercise wont work..
Actually this doesn't seem to work.
-First off, this is a painful process, that would likely fall apart if foundation walls were to move around. I don't know that I can lock the divisions onto the edges of the foundation footings.
-More to the point, once I exclude the part I wanted to exclude, I can't join the remaining parts back together. This is a problem because I can't join the slab to the wall, which means that my hardwood and underpayment continue through to the foundation wall concrete- sneaking under the studs and insulation.
- A possible workaround would be to make both the original and the parts visible on the sheet, and hide the hardwood, but this doesn't work as now it shows the original excluded substrate.
- I could also divide the hardwood and exclude the parts sneaking underneath the foundation wall, but that's a ton of work for very little.
Why can't I join the parts that I want into a functional slab?
Why is this actually a difficult process? People have substrate underneath their slabs all the time.
Do people implement the substrate as a separate floor slab instead, is this best practice ?
The modify option that we have for walls should be available for floors.
Hi
in the view “ parts visibility “ keep “parts “ only to edit parts.
once you are done change it to “ show both
and then you are back to normal situation.. you can edit entire slab...
there is a bit learning curve for “parts” I guess..
second option is to simply model two slabs if you are no willing to use revits full potential..
best luck
This is the option I mention in my explanation,
show-both also shows the original, so I am back to square 1.
Unless I am missing something it doesn't work.
