It's just as fast.<BR /> <BR /> as for columns and beams... CMD+9 will become your best friend.

In the meantime you can graphically drag the slab vertically but I can see your point. I will put it to the product management team's attention. Thanks!<BR /> <BR /> Best regards, Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:22:55 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Working-with-elevation-in-the-InfoBox-pallete/m-p/215718#M117150 NCornia 2012-12-12T15:22:55Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Working-with-elevation-in-the-InfoBox-pallete/m-p/215719#M117151 <BLOCKQUOTE>JaredBanks wrote:<BR />If you set the slab to a composite structure (which has a specified thickness) instead of a generic fill, then the (b) will be grayed out.

If I want to move the whole thing I use the element's settings, (or Elevate tool, as Jared suggested), if I only want to adjust either the top or bottom surface I use the InfoBox. Best of both worlds.
