Lets say i have 4 walls forming a rectangle shaped "building". The analytical line of the walls are set to center. If i model a slab on top of the walls one of the following happens:

1. Sketching the perimeter of the slab snapping to the outer edge of the wall, the slabs analytical model would overhang the walls analytical model, thus there will be a lever at the analysis of the model. See pictures attached.

2. Sketching the perimeter of the slab snapping to the analytical model of the wall, the slab edge wont reach the edge of the wall, obviously not the best representation in drawings.

3. Creating a slab using the "pick walls" command, the slab physical edge reaches the edge of the wall and the analytical models line up (in the center of the wall).

Is it possible to modify slabs analytical model created with method 1 or 2 to look like the one described in method 3? I tried the analytical adjust command and looked into the properties of the slab. I found nothing, but who know maybe i just missing something.

Is it posibble to have different options of a slabs analytical model at different edges of the slab?

Under the wall properties you should be able to change the location of the analytical line to outside face, if I remember right it's under horizontal projection

You are right, i can change the walls analytical model to the outside face, but want it to remain in the center. I want to be able to change the slab/floor analytical model projection to overlap the walls analytical model and not the other way. Like i said it can be done if you draw the slab/floor with the pick walls command. But if it is an existing wall/slab drawn with any other command how can i modify/adjust it? Furthermore it would be great if i could set it individually for any edge of the slab...

So basicly the question is: Can I and How can i modify/adjust the HORIZONTAL projection of a slabs/floors analytical model
