Is there a way to create a different size of slab edge?

 I'd like for my 4" floor slab to thickened down to the top of my footing when they come together at the perimeter of the building. So the slab can bear on the footing.

Currently Revit Structure has 24"x12"x12", but mine needs to be specific to each diffent footing that the slab is bearing on. Is there a way to having a thickened slab edge that can be edited in a section view? I'd like to be able to just pull the points of the slab edge to make it wider or narrower.

 Sorry if my question is confusing, but I'm used to working with AutoCad, and I'm just now doing my first job with Revit.

 Thanks

Thanks Typhoon,

I actually found another thread on here that give me a nice work around. So I've fixed my slab edges so they look correct in my building sections. But I'll watch the video also.

Thanks
