Floor Layer Question

When trying to adjust our ceiling heights, the auto display that is given has this element, wondering if that is the 4-inch concrete slab or if the slab is represented by the 4-inch element shown below it. 

 

This is on the foundation level in the basement.

That is the slab (at the tip of your arrow). The 4" is the dimension for that (see the dimension line). Below that is the stem wall footing beyond.

 

Zooming way in may help you.

 

Best,

Charles

The 7/8" is the total of your floor thickness material (you can see this in the room dbx). for example carpet and padding.

The 4" is your slab.

Just how Charles described.

To use Chief terms, the Elevation marker on the right measuring the Floor at -118 1/8" always measures to what you have as "Floor Structure" which can be set in the floor defaults or on a room by room basis.

 

Don't think, concrete or any other material, because your floor structure may contain more than one material depending on your plan.

 

Up here in the great white north, my basement Floor Structure has, 2 inches styrofoam, polyethylene, and 4 inches of concrete (total 6").  

This way it shows up and calculates proper heights according to code up here.
