Create slab and mat drawings

Slab and mat drawings refer to slab and mat layout drawings and punching shear check detail drawings. Slab and mat detail drawings are used to convey slab reinforcement and patch reinforcement requirements, and contain a quantity table for the reinforcement displayed with a detailing allowance added. Punching check detail drawings display an individual check detail in, and also contain the option to display the reinforcement quantities table.

Create slab or mat layout drawings

  1. Open a 2D scene view displaying the slabs or mats that you want to include in the drawing.
  2. On the Draw tab, click Slab/Mat Detailing.
    Note:

    If the Slab/Mat Detailing command is not active, ensure that you are in a 2D scene view.

    The DXF Export Preferences dialog box opens.

  3. Select the layer configuration and layer style for the drawing.
  4. Set the drawing scale.
  5. If necessary, to adjust the distance between independent lines of text, modify the minimum text block spacing.
  6. Do one of the following:
    • Accept the automatic file name.
    • Clear the Use automatic file name option and name the file yourself.
  7. Click OK.

    The drawing opens in an available DXF application.

    Note: If preferred this drawing variant can be created as a batch, (allowing multiple drawings to be created on a single drawing sheet).
