Everyday Revit (Day 379) - Waffle Slab with Pan Joist using Beam System

good guys being here and today let's uh let's see if we can quickly model these uh what are they called what for slab so let's start so first let's create a project okay so i'm going to create a floor um i'll just use this 150 concrete generic floor and i'm going to place it on level one so empty so create a floor and now so this is the floor um level one okay so now we are going to place these so let's have a look so this is uh um we can use the bim system to create this but we will need to so first we need to load a bin so go structure bin so currently there's no concrete being so we need to go load family and go to structure framing and on here concrete so you will see uh there are so actually this one it's quite similar to that okay so uh let's use this one pen joist uh of course so you can just place it so directly onto the floor and then you can change the height but uh it's easier to just use the beam system so you can use a pick the edge of this floor and oh sorry before we use that always sit with plan first so i'm going to use uh the level one well actually instead of using level one i'll just pick this uh floor so the face of this floor floor okay and then you pick big line tab select edge and also this would dissolve this is the direction of these beams so finish it so you will see all these members right and also you will notice that uh that's actually i okay i think this is some setting of this so looks like a slab see there is a slap thickness so this this means this means we can when we place this beam system we can use so i'll just edit this word plan and change it back to the level one so and then we can just use this the setting of this so if i select all these so select asa and see change this one to match the floor so you will see all these uh pen joints will match the the floor thickness okay so now we can just simply select this beam system so where is it here so this one and you can change this uh instead of is fixed distance 1828.8 let's have a look at this so this looks like quite not sure how wide that is but what's the size of this one 350. so if this is 350 this will be about um let's say 500 okay so i'll just select this beam system change this to 500 yeah okay so and also you will see the all the new created joist they are the default setting of the snap thickness is 125. so it's just select all and change it to um change the change the step thickness to 150 okay so now and also let's have a look of the material so this floor is currently nothing so let's change the uh the material of the floor to to concrete okay so change to it to concrete and then let's have a look this joist material so concrete cuts in place concrete maybe uh actually let's just use this material okay so just use this material for the floor as well so i'll just paste it in here and okay and okay so now if uh if i use join so click on the floor and this joins so you will see it becomes one okay so you get rid of or remove that line between them see okay so now if i select this beam system ctrl c and go escape paste in same place and edit boundary being direction pick this one finish and you will say suddenly we have all the joints in the other direction okay so of course we can select all and make sure the thickness it match the floor's thickness so that's and then that's it still take a little time to adjust so this is it this is this and of course you can always change the setting of this so for example edit type you will see all these dimensions okay and also you can always use join to get rid of the line between them okay that's it very simple i'll see you tomorrow bye
