Displays properties for slabs. Slabs are used to model solid surfaces, such as floors or steel grating, in your model. The software places slabs on a supporting plane, or multiple planes, that you select and between selected boundaries.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Angle
Specifies the angle at which the slab is placed from the plane or reference plane.
Angle to Global XY Plane
Specifies the angle at which the slab is placed from the plane or reference plane.
Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.
Assembly Mark
Specifies the assembly mark of the member. If the member was imported through CIMsteel, the assembly mark is usually the identity of the manufactured assembly to which this member belongs.
Bottom Face
Specifies the lowest elevation of the slab or the slab boundary objects. For example, if the slab is bounded by four structural members, then the software displays the lowest elevation of either the slab or the members, whichever is lower.
Boundaries Projection Direction
Specifies the boundaries projection direction. To change the options on the list, edit the Slab Reference Direction select list in Catalog.
Boundaries Slope Direction
Specifies the boundaries slope direction. Select 0. This property is used by the software when importing slabs using CIMsteel. To change the options on the list, edit the Slab Reference Direction select list in Catalog.
Boundary Offset
Specifies the boundary offsets for the slab. Enter 0 for the slab edge to stop at the boundary. Enter a positive distance to offset the slab edge outside of the boundary. Enter a negative distance to offset the slab edge inside the boundary.
Boundary Offset Reference
Specifies which part of the member the slab should use as the boundary when a member is used as a boundary for a slab. To change the options on the list, edit the Slab Boundary Reference select list in Catalog.
Inner port-face of a bounding member
Indicates that the slab stops at the inner-most plane of the bounding member.
Centerline (axis) of a bounding member
Indicates that the slab stops at the member-line axis of the bounding member. In the picture below, the beams were placed using cardinal point 8, which means the member-line axis is in the top center of the beams.
Outer port-face of a bounding member
Indicates that the slab stops at the out-most plane of the bounding member.
Cleaning Responsibility
Specifies the party responsible for cleaning the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Cleaning Responsibility select list in Catalog.

Continuity Priority Number
Specifies the priority when two profile systems that have the same Continuity setting intersect. The profile system with the lowest continuity priority number penetrates the other system. For example, two profile systems intersect and the Continuity setting of each set to Continuous. The profile system with the lowest Continuity Priority number splits the other profile system. You can only modify this property at the root system.
Continuity Type
Specifies the way in which the object system reacts when the system intersects another object system (your automatic splitting preference). The list is defined by the StructContinuity codelist.
Continuous
Indicates that the object system should split the other object system.
