- In this example, there will be two components. Change the number and press Enter, and an additional component is added.
- Component 1 is a 2" concrete slab with zero offset, which means the slab will be created flush with the bottom of the walls. Component 2 is 1/4" wood with an offset of 2", so that it will sit directly atop the concrete slab. To define material, click inside the field, then select a category and material. ----Note: For details on materials, see Materials.
