1. You can create the floor as a family outside the project using a series of solids and voids (for slab bands, beams etc.) and then load that family into the project. Place it at one level and then copy, paste aligned to the various levels as required.
2. In the project, create a floor, enter sketch mode and copy the sketch lines to the clipboard. Open a new family and follow the same procedure as above but using the linework from the clipboard to define the solids.
The real advantage of this method is that when you need to make changes to all the floors you simply edit the family and reload it into the project file. Either way be sure that the family category is set to 'floor' so the resulting slab behaves like a floor when loaded into the project.
