I have to make something like that (picture below).

In short i need to make 7 slabs (10 cm thick, material concrete) and many walls, How can i proceed? Do you think i have to make (in archicad 13) 7 different floor?

Hi Nicola,

Was there a specific reason you wanted to use the slab tool?

I'd use an array of niches in a single wall. Place them using the window tool. Set the wall to 'projected', and 'show on all relevant stories'.

Hope that helps!

You can use one wall and a few beams, located in a separate layer. If you set correctly intersection priorities, you will get immediately holes where beams intersect the wall.

+ FOR
. Compared to SEO, no management needed
. When the beams layer is hidden you can watch the result.
. If you group walls and beams they all move together even if one of the layers is hidden
. When the beams layer is shown, in elevation you can move the beams and organize and/or align them

- AGAINST
. Like SEO, there is no real plan view display. Any way a workaround can help : leave a row of beams on a visible layer, it will show holes contour, and stay linked to the real model

I would probably just make this out of one slab, save it as an object on it's side and put it infront of a wall

I'd probably use the curtainwall tool.
