Structural Floor

[Anonymous]

Why are structural floors a part of the architectural floor family, when structural families are typically separate?  If I want to model a structural slab floor, do I have to use the architectural floor family or can do I just have to model it as a structural foundation?

You can use either.  But keep in mind you can modify sub-elements of a Floor, but not a Structural Slab Foundation.

I did not mark the reply as an Accepted Solution, because it does not answer the question, nor is it an accepted solution.

If you did not then simply uncheck it as a Solution. You are the thread starter so you can do it.

You might use wherever button you want.

The difference is that the "structural" one comes with the analytical model turned on for your floor.

I understand you, but in this case it is what it is.

Have you seen stairs? It doesn't make a proper joint to walls! 😕
