- [Voiceover] Let's start getting in the slabs. What I'd like to do in the video is to create basically a slab on-grade. We'll do it in our level one structural plan. So under structural plans in the project browser, let's go to level one. Now what I'd like to do is go to the Structure tab. Let's click on the Floor button. Let's click the drop-down. Let's find six inch concrete. Under floors, let's click on Edit Type.
On the bottom down here, let's click on the Preview button, so we can see what we're doing. Now for the structure, let's click on edit and see how this is comprised. Six inch concrete and the thickness of our floor is six inches. Let's click into where it says Material, Concrete, Cast-in-Place gray. Let's click on the Builder button. This little Builder button will bring up the material browser. Now notice that Concrete, Cast-in-Place gray has a Cut Pattern of Concrete but no surface pattern.
I like to keep the Surface Patterns turned off. But what's cool about Revit, it's the material that actually drives the aesthetics. So when we cut a section through this concrete slab, we're going to see the concrete hatch. That's how that works. Just so happens that, this is the perfect material for me, so I'm going to click OK. This is the perfect size for me, so I'm going to click OK. I'm going to click Apply. Then I want to click OK. Now what I want to do is I want to find the outside edges of the entire perimeter.
So if I hover my mouse over the outside face and hit tab, it should select the entire perimeter. If you're not getting the wall, make sure on the Draw panel, you have your Pick Walls set by default. So I'm going to hover over my wall right here. I'm going to hit tab, and I'm going to select. Once we have them all selected, let's go ahead and click on Finish Edit Mode. Now Revit's asking us if we'd like the walls that go up to this floor's level to attach to its bottom. We do, so let's just click on Yes.
Let's hit Escape a couple times. Now it looks kind of funny. It doesn't quite looks like a structural plan. So under Structural Plan in the Properties, let's scroll down 'til we find discipline, let's click the Coordination drop-down, let's select Structural. Let's click Apply. Now this looks more like a structural plan to me. So this is how you put a slab in. The next video has us putting in a slab with a metal deck.

4/13/2017Starting with referencing an architectural model, you'll learn how to add foundations, rebar, and framing; set up views and drawings; model slabs and trusses; and build a whole lot more. This course is designed for members with no Revit experience, or for more advanced users who want to jump to a topic and start from there. Either way, this comprehensive course will teach you what you need to know to be dangerous in Revit structure.
