Customizing floors

Creating a floor style from scratch is easy in Revit, as long as you understand the principles…about how a floor is actually constructed.…And really that's what this video is all about: understanding those principles about how floors are put together.…Now, in order to be able to do this, we're going to come up here to Structure and then…select on the Floor tool.…And it doesn't really matter if we do a Structural Floor or an Architectural Floor--which is just…a structural floor without any of the actual forces and loads associated with it--but I'm…going to pick Floor Structural here.…

Here we can see that we have a floor 3" lightweight concrete on 2" metal deck.…Now, in order to be able to see the properties of this floor and understand better about…how it's constructed and put together,…all we have to do is move down here to this button that says Edit Type and click on that.…Then the next thing is going to be Edit Structure.…So always remember, when you need to modify a floor, do Edit Type, then Edit for the structure.…
