setdown in slab for wetareas

[mneelam]

Hi, I wonder how you create a family for the setdown in slab of wetarea. I did it with extrusion in slab but it cut through the slab & the other option I saw with 2 different slab with level difference. As I want to maintain the slab thickness & a overlap of slab at the bottom face of slab. I dont want to see two different slab. I Idea to have only one slab with setdown.

Thanks

Thanks for the solution. I have got one more question. How can we maintain the slab thickness at the underside of slab with lap at bottom of slab.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry but when I draw the setdown floor and try to join them  it says " floor is completely inside another floor" and I can't see the setdown cut. Please let me know how did you manage to see the setdown by cutting the floor from another floor(Setdown).

Thanks

Hey mate,

there are some tips need to follow.

1. Create a new 'setdown' material and assign that one to the 'setdown' floor.

2. Join that 'setdown' floor to the main floor (note: join order must be 'setdown' floor first and the main floor second but if you select the main floor first then this 'setdown' floor does not do his job.)

3. create a filter to hide the 'setdown' floor in all views but plans.

Hope this help when Revit user are waiting for a better tool/method from Autodesk.

thanks for this question.

Currently, I have no good solution for this but I normally create a separate floor under the setdown and join that floor to the main floor to maintain the thickness. This way takes a lot of time so I don't like it.

hope this help.

This would be a nightmare to do at every exterior door or for exterior cladding systems
