the best way to show floor slabs on an upper storey

[Anonymous]

I'm struggling to find the best workflow for modelling floor slabs on an upper storey. If I show it on the upper storey then i accidentally always seem to select the floor slab when working on that storey.
I get around this on the ground floor storey by putting the floor slab on the foundation plan.

As always thanks in advance for your help!

I like the idea of locking the object rather than the layer. How do I do this?
I dont see anything in the slab selection settings

Hi Lennox,
There are two ways:

1. Under the EDIT pulldown menu as shown. Not very quick but it's there!
2. Add it to one of your palettes - I've got mine in the ARRANGE ELEMENTS palette. It seems to be a logical place for it.

Here's an example of the ARRANGE ELEMENTS palette. The locking functions are the last 3 buttons in the bottom row.

Using it on the palette is really efficient. I keep a lot of structural elements locked and subsequently lock things like windows etc.

Cheers
