Best practice - Floor modelling boundary

Anonymous

Hi,
I am curious how engineers model floor in Revit, to be specific - the floor boundary. Do you draw it overlapping the walls, or just to the edge of the wall and then lock the boundary line to it? Do you attach walls to the bottom of the floors?
Pros and cons.

Different methods for different requirements/stages.

In the conceptual stage we might place a slab and put the floor on top. In further stages you might use multiple floors for the different uses (same with walls), making sure that the walls rest on the proper floor layer. Good rule of thinking is how it will be constructed in reality and who will be responsible.

 

In general I do not constrain objects in the project. Too many constraints will have negative impact on performance and when you have to move things you might get lots of warnings/errors due to many conflicting constraints.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

I am new to Revit trying to develop a complete model of a 2 story house. You said you like fewer constraints rather than more because more make it harder  to move things around. I was lately thinking I need more constraints because I find elements or whatever moving around unbeknownst to me. Whats constricts do you absolutely need to keep a model stable? I know it depends on alot of things, start with most import and why for starters.
