Hi, our company have 200, 250, 300, & 400mm thick hollowcore slabs with our own cross section profile. Can you please make a video using profiles drawn in AutoCAD? I can send you profiles and strand arrangements if you need them.
Hi, I cant seem to find the notch component. It's not in the pull down menu in the properties palette. Any idea what folder it is in? Thanks. Great vid
If "Hollow Core - Notch" not in your pull down menu: > Insert > Load Family > Then at folder US > Structural Precast > Mounting Parts > "Hollow Core Slab - Notch.rfa"
First of all, thanks for the support over on Buymeacoffee, it is appreciated. If you go to the "extras" page on the support page the download can be made from there (I believe you already downloaded the Structural Industrial Building model) - Extra's page linked below. Happy Modelling! www.buymeacoffee.com/8020BIM/extras
hello i fallowed all the steps and when it came to the time of selection hallow core slab after presing the split button it gives me an error saying "Hollow core slab with invalid thickness. Change the selected template family in Config or adjust the thickness of the slab to match." does anyone know why i cant figure it out
Hi! Is normal that the starting structural floor stays in place? Is it possible to hide or delete it? In order to add concrete between slabs would it be better to add a 2D hatching? Thanks!
Hi Giorgio, Yes - the default function will retain the existing floor as well as create a new Hollowcore plank elements for the floor slab - up to you if you want to retain the original floor or now. You could opt to use 2D items if you wish, but generally fro ma project informatio ncontrol perspective I would not recommend it. Hope this helps! Niall
Hi there - unfortuantely the add-in was not in place for 2020 at the time of recording. I know however that they have updated the Autodesk Desktop app to include the add-in jsut last week. Please see link below: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/ENU/Revit-AddIns/files/GUID-3AA696FA-8CE6-43CC-AB60-D0BC305351EC-htm.html Apologies for slow response, hope this helps! All the best, Niall
No major difference, except the notches can be added later in the work flow so can accommodate potential unforeseeable design changes (changing floor footprint sketch after the Hollowcore units have been created can cause integrity issues / void extrusions fail to be created) . You can draft the notches while sketching the footprint of the floor and the output will be the same. Hope this clears things up Gabriel 🙂

did you find out how to solve it?
How to create different width hollow core slabs like 150/300,400 thickness please make video thank you

Hi Mariana - please see detailed response to the initial query above.
All the best,

Is there any significant difference between using the notch family and simply sketching the openings around each column on the slab tool?
No major difference, except the notches can be added later in the work flow so can accommodate potential unforeseeable design changes (changing floor footprint sketch after the Hollowcore units have been created can cause integrity issues / void extrusions fail to be created) . You can draft the notches while sketching the footprint of the floor and the output will be the same.

It did, thank you again.
