Slab - details

On the Details tab of the Slab: definition dialog, you can select slab edge ends.

Note: The edge end options on this tab are available only when an inclined plane has been chosen as a reference level on the Vertical Definition tab.

Select slab edge end types for a slab lying on an inclined plane:

You can also specify the main direction of the slab on the Details tab:

  1. one-way slab
  2. two-way slab.

Information about the main direction is used when creating structure drawings (plans of stories or formwork drawings of slabs). Slabs are by default one-way reinforced (reinforcement is positioned parallel to the shorter side of the slab).

A new style for graphic symbols is available in the software; it allows you to define the way the main direction of the slab is drawn (see Style of the main direction of the slab).
