There's a specific way to do that in Revit. Let's open structure 29. Let's go down to level two. If we zoom in here and just hover over this area, we'll probably be able to select the slab. So go ahead and select your six inch concrete with metal deck. Let's click on edit boundary. Set your detail level to fine. That way we can see where our flanges end up.
