View Full Version : Creating a brick ledge on a slab

Is it possible to create a 'void' hosted slab edge sweep to 'carve' out a brick ledge on a floor slab?

We do many small commercial projects with monolithic slabs on grade (no perimeter foundation walls) - so the floor slab extends to the exterior face of the wall.

Problem is the exterior elevations show both the lowered brick veneer and the floor slab overlapping & the top line of the floor shows.

See attached images.
Thanks, James

I don't think you can do what you want. You will have to create the entire thing as part of the profile.

You can do an in-place family void sweep on the slab edge, and use the cut geometry tool to get it to carve out that piece.

Thanks for the ideas.

The in-place void sweep works pretty well.

It would be nice if it could be done with a Hosted Sweep - Slab Edge (maybe in the next release).
