Drawing a Slab Edge
With the slab edge command, The boundaries of slabs not defined by beams and shearwalls are defined. The edges of the slabs are surrounded by beams, columns or shearwalls. In some cases (balconies, stair landings, etc.) some edges of the slabs are not covered with these elements, they are empty. In order to define slabs in these areas, slab boundaries must be defined by the slab edge.
