Option Description

Define the slab type.

• Use Slab for normal hollow core slabs.

• Use PIP for a precast infill piece.

• Use GAP for an empty space between the slabs. You do not need to define a profile when you select this option.

• Use CIP to create a concrete part using the width defined in the Width column. The width range that you can use is defined in the

FloorTool.ini file.

The slabs listed in the FloorTool.ini file can only have a width that is inside the defined range. The slabs that are not listed can have any width. The value you give is rounded down to the nearest allowed value.

Define the profile by selecting it from the profile catalog.

You can Add and Delete slabs, and move them Up and Down in the list by using the buttons on the left. To restore the default values, click Restore

defaults.

Floor Layout

Floor Layout creates floors built of precast filigree and hollow core slabs. The floors may contain several layers, such as precast slabs, insulation and a castin-place topping. Floor Layout is most useful for non-rectangular floors that contain one or more openings that split slabs into many pieces, and when slab widths are not constant on the whole floor area. You can modify the floors using direct modification.
