REQUEST
How can I avoid the visualization of the slab ( Horizontal envelope ) in the facade?

Answer:
To avoid the Horizontal Envelope visualization on the building façade, simply proceed as follows:
- open the reference level, for example the first floor;
- choose the object Horizontal Envelope from the Architectural menu;
- draw the Horizontal envelope taking as reference the inner face of the perimeter wall or the related snap nodes.



In case the Horizontal Envelope has already been made, taking the external face of the wall as a reference, proceed as follows:

Option A
- select the Horizontal Envelope ;
- from the ribbon at the top, click on Offset;
- indicate a negative value (for example minus twenty centimeters) and confirm with the green flag to retract the Horizontal Envelope .


Option B
- Open the 3D View (default);
- choose the object surface lining from the Architectural menu;
- Apply the surface lining to the building façade.
