Use this procedure to relocate a slab or roof slab by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point.
The slab or roof slab object also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the object are parallel to the XY plane, the object’s normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the object by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the object on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
- Double-click the slab or roof slab you want to move.
- On the Properties palette, click the Design tab
Basic Location. - Click
next to Additional Information. - Specify the location of the slab or roof slab:
If you want to… Then… relocate the slab or roof slab enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point. locate the slab or roof slab on the XY plane make the normal of the slab or roof slab parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y. locate the slab or roof slab on the YZ plane make the normal of the slab or roof slab parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z. locate the slab or roof slab on the XZ plane make the normal of the slab or roof slab parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z. change the rotation of the slab or roof slab enter a new value for Rotation Angle. - Click OK.
