Create Slab by Flood

Identifies a delineated area within a shape or form, floods that area and extrudes the identified shape. Extrusion is upward, not downward, regardless of shape orientation; and the projection is smooth as opposed to faceted.

SettingDescription
Height Specifies the height of the area to be extruded, unless a shape or form above prohibits extrusion. If a shape above only partially blocks extrusion, Height controls the portion of the form that can be extruded past the overlying shape or form
Offset Sets a distance by which the extruded area is placed relative to the Depth Mode setting.
Tolerance Controls how many segments comprise a curve: Increasing the value creates fewer segments; decreasing the value creates more segments.
Create In When on, allows the extruded form to be created in the 3D Master model file when identified from a drawing or section file. (This setting is only available when identifying an area to extrude from an extracted drawing file.)
Allow holes When on, floods and extrudes around columns or other forms located within the selected area, and creates holes in the extrusion where the columns or other forms occupied space.
