This allows us to stop the decking, to allow for a thicker slab at the edges of our framing. And since we pick the center line for beams, we're going to have to set our detail level to Fine and look at where the edge of that beam is. Let's get started by opening up Revit, and we'll go to structural 26. In Level 2. I'm just going to zoom in on my floor slab a little bit. If you hover over this ad and select it, you should be able to select your floor. Let's click edit boundary. Now notice that these lines all have properties of their own.
