Hi, I have a building ground floor slab which comprises of 50mm Screed, 150mm Concrete, 50mm Sand, and 150mm Hardcore. I have created a edge profile, as the slab thickens at the edge, but I cannot get this to represent more than one layer, if it prepresents the concrete it overlays all of the other layers. Its very common to have slabs with edges made up from multiple layers - Can anyone point out to me what I am doing wrong? Attached is a screen print of what I'm trying to acheive. Cheers.

well i have a temerorry idea, it is to add multi edge slab profile, like adding the first profile as a step, then add another new one . heince you can add material to each one.. hope this works,

HI, Thanks for your reply. We did actually add multiple edges in the end, it works, but the its a little difficult to manage, plus you get some strange wide lines in when a section view is cut (though these are easy to change to thin lines again)

I usually only model the slab edge by itself. Then I edit cut profile for the remaining when necessary. If you really need to model these, then I suggest you seperate into seperate slabs, each with their own profile.... but why?

The reason I modelled them was so that the detail drawings which cover this area look correct. Though I now think for the hassle of getting right its easier to just draw in 2D on the detail itself.

If you have not yet learned to use edit cut profile, you are missing a powerful tool.

I'll have to look into that - I've not used it, but assumed it was for wall junctions, not slab edges...

I think that if you only want to show each layer on the section and details, you can nest a detail component family which shows each layer into the slab edge profile family.
