To Specify a Fascia and a Soffit for a Slab/Roof Slab Edge Style

Use this procedure to specify a fascia and a soffit for a slab or roof slab edge style. The drawing must contain profiles for the fascia and soffit.

  1. Select a slab or roof slab, and
    if the object selected is… then…
    a slab click Slab tabGeneral panelEdit Style drop-downSlab Edge Styles.
    a roof slab click Roof Slab tabGeneral panelEdit Style drop-downRoof Slab Edge Styles.
    Note: Alternatively,click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager, and then expand Architectural Objects, and expand Slab Edge Styles or Roof Slab Edge Styles.
  2. Select the slab or roof slab edge style that you want to edit.
  3. Click the Design Rules tab.

  4. Select Fascia, and select a profile that defines the geometry of the fascia.

    If you select *NONE*, display component settings apply to the slab or roof slab edge line or plane where the fascia is located.

  5. Specify how the fascia is to be scaled on the slab or roof slab edge:
    If you want to… Then…
    scale the fascia to fit the height of the edge select Auto-Adjust to Edge Height to scale the fascia to edge height.
    use the fascia at its drawn size clear Auto-Adjust to Edge Height.
  6. Select Soffit, and select a profile that defines the geometry of the soffit.

    If you select *NONE*, display component settings apply to the slab or roof slab edge line or plane where the soffit is located.

  7. Specify how the soffit is to be scaled on the slab or roof slab overhang:
    If you want to… Then…
    scale the soffit to fit the depth of the overhang select Auto-Adjust to Overhang Depth.
    use the soffit at its drawn size clear Auto-Adjust to Overhang Depth.
  8. Specify the placement of the soffit:
    If you want to… Then…
    specify the soffit angle of the slab or roof slab edge enter a value for the Angle, with zero being horizontal. A positive value slopes the soffit up from the insertion point, and a negative value slopes the soffit down.
    specify the horizontal offset from the slab or roof slab baseline or perimeter line for the slab edge enter a value for Horizontal Offset from [Slab/Roof Slab] Baseline. (This option is available only if you select Auto-Adjust to Overhang Depth.)
    specify the soffit offsets from the insertion point of the fascia enter a value for “X” Direction and “Y” Direction.
  9. Click OK.
