Tips

• You can place slab edges in 2D views (such as plan or section views) or in 3D views. Watch the status bar to look for valid references. For example, if you are placing a slab edge on a floor, the status bar might display: Floors : Basic Floor : Reference.
• When placing a slab edge in section, place the cursor near the corners of the floor to highlight the reference.
