In most cases, you want the appearance of slabs or roof slabs that use the same style to be consistent throughout a drawing. To achieve this, you specify the following display properties in each style:
- The layer, color, and linetype of slab or roof slab components
- The hatching used for the surface of the slab or roof slab in plan views
- The cut plane height
Components with display properties include dimensions for slab or roof slab thickness, edge conditions for the fascia and soffit, line work, cut planes, cut lines, 3D shading factors, baseline, and pivot point. The display properties of the fascia and soffit are also controlled by the slab or roof slab style, although the geometry of these components is controlled through edge styles.
You can also use materials to control the display properties of the physical components of a slab or roof slab. Symbolic components, such as the pivot point, are not controlled by materials.
