Draws an architectural slab. Slabs are foundations that are easy to draw at the beginning of an architectural project or at any time later relative to walls.

To draw a slab

Specify start point of slab contour or [Convert 2D entities to slab/Thickness(6.0000)]: Specify the start point of the slab. Or choose Thickness to enter a new thickness for the slab.

Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Undo]: Specify the endpoint of each segment, then press Enter when done or Close to add the last endpoint at the start point. Choose Arc to add an arc segment to the slab.

To convert 2D entities to slabs

Specify start point of slab contour or [Convert 2D entities to slab/Thickness(6.0000)]: Choose Convert.

Select lines, arcs or polylines to convert to a slab contour: Select the 2D entities to convert to slabs, then press Enter.

Erase layout geometry? [Yes/No] <No>: Choose Yes to delete the selected 2D entities. Choose No to retain the selected 2D entities.

Edit the slab.

After you draw a slab, you can modify it as you would other entities using modify entity commands. For example, slabs can be easily moved and resized relative to a wall. You can also use the Properties pane to change the thickness, style, etc. And when you select a slab, grips display allowing you to resize and reorient the slab in real-time.
