Hello everybody. Does anybody know how I could add pour stop angles to my concrete slabs? I would like for my pour stop angle to be part of the slab, to be able to see it, tag it, and dimension how far off it is from the grid line when cutting a section. I was able to create steel deck and add it to my slab but not my angles. I created a slab edge profile but I get the "One element is completely inside another" warning. My angle is there but I can't see it or join it to the slab. Does anybody know a solution to my problem? Thank you.

Create your angle like you did. You might still get the error that one object is completly inside of another. Once created move your angle outside of the slab. You will get a warning that asks you to unjoin geometry. Then move your angle back to position. This will give you an overlap of hatching, but atleast you can see your angle.

Thanks but I am not looking to unjoin my angle from the slab. That would be last resort for me. I would like to have my angle be part of the slab just like the steel deck does. Is it possible to do that? If so, how? Thanks.

Use a sweep. You can do an in-place sketch, or you can create profiles based on what you need. But, a sweep will work perfectly- just about. Do you know how to do this?

When you say a profile based on what I need, do you mean creating a new profile using the Profile-Hosted template? I've never used that but I will give it a try. Thanks.

emgeeo - how do you do this in-place sweep for the slab edge?

wwhub - is this the easiest and best way in putting in edge angles?
I just posted another question similar to this one.

Maybe not.... If the slab is flat, I would use a face based family. That would be much easier. Create it so that it is adjustable in length.

I will have to look up face based family and how to do it for my second floor, it is flat. - so on my sloping roof I will need to create a sweep, even though revit had a angle in their library?
I am new to revit and I am still trying to figure out what to model, how to model it or what not to model and just place in section and then how to do that.

Actually - the faced based should work for the slope too.

ok - so I tried this face base family - actually it is the slab edge modified.
1. How can I have two cut patterns in one detail? One for the concrete and one for the bent plate.
2. I do not know how to pick it once I load it into my project - it is not showing up under the slab edge type in the properties box. (image 2)
A image of the family is attached. (image 1)

Please look at the above questions and then look at this one.
I tried the in place component (for my edge angle) with a thickened slab egde already placed. (image below)
Questions: I would like to change the OTB edge slab profile (I don't want the 45 degree slant) but I load it but it doesn't want to show up in the type editor.
I don't want the deck to show up going thru the thickend part. Is there any way to sop it short?
