Modify floor segment parameters to change the default dimension ranges for generating slab assemblies.
You change segmentation settings in the Configuration dialog. Click Precast tab 
Configuration panel
(Configuration) and navigate to the appropriate node for your floor or foundation slab:
Configuration panel
(Configuration) and navigate to the appropriate node for your floor or foundation slab:
- Concrete Slab Solid Slab Segmentation
- Concrete Slab Hollowcore Slab Segmentation
Note: Hollow core slab dimensions are defined by their families. To change hollow core dimensions, edit the family. See Create a Hollow Core Family.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Min. Slab Width | Specifies the minimum width for a generated slab assembly. |
| Max. Slab Width | Specifies the maximum width for a generated slab assembly. |
| Max. Weight | Specifies the maximum weight for a generated slab assembly. If the slab cannot generate under the maximum weight within the current minimum and maximum slab width limits, you will be prompted to change the appropriate segmentation parameters. |
| Gap | Specifies the gap between two adjacent assemblies. |
| Hollow Core Family | Hollow core slabs only. Specifies the hollow core family type for the assembly segmentation. |
| Division Profile | Hollow core slabs only. Specifies the division profile family for the assembly segmentation. |
| Minimum Width | Hollow core slabs only. Specifies the minimum width for a generated hollow core slab assembly. |
| Segmentation Gap | Hollow core slabs only. Specifies the gap between two adjacent hollow core slab assemblies. |
| Strand Diameter | Hollow core slabs only. Specifies the diameter of the strands in the hollow core family. |
When the floor does not possess material attributes, segmentation occurs with the minimum and maximum width parameters.
When the floor possesses material attributes and the slab is between the minimum and maximum width, the governing parameter for segmentation will be the width. This allows the assembly weight to be as close as possible to the Max. Weight parameter.
