Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a concrete floor slab under the entire house, a front porch 8 meters wide that is 15 cm lower, 3 porch columns, and beams that will later support the roof trusses. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the Arkikad House series. Doors and windows are already installed. Today we will complete the understructure and porch, the floor slab using the slab tool, the porch floor, columns using the column tool, and beams using the beam tool.

Step 1: Slab Tool Setup

Double-click the slab tool. Set the top offset to 0, meaning the top surface of the slab is exactly at the floor elevation. Thickness 120 mm with reinforced concrete structure. Reference plane on the top side, so the slab grows downward from the floor. Click OK.

Step 2: Polygonal Floor Slab

Select the polygonal method and click on the four outer corners of the wall, starting from the bottom-left corner, bottom-right corner, top-right corner, top-left corner, then click again on the starting point to close the shape. The floor slab of 8.15 x 10.15 meters is directly formed under the wall.

Step 3: Floor Level -150

Now the porch floor. In the info box, change the top offset to minus 150, because the porch is made 15 cm lower than the house floor to prevent rainwater from entering. Thickness 150. Draw a square from the front wall face to 2 meters forward, the width of the house.

Step 4: Stair Column

The porch needs supporting columns for the roof. Double-click the column tool. Select the square profile 150 x 15, bottom offset minus 150 from the porch floor, and height 3150 up to elevation 3 meters. Click on three points on the edge of the porch, the left corner, center at SB, and the right corner. The columns are connected by beams. Select the beam tool, width 150 and height 250, with reference line elevation 3000 so that the top side of the beam is level with the top of the wall. Click from the left column to the right column. On the plan view, the beams appear broken because they are located above the plan cut plane. Open the three-view window and view from the front.

Step 6: Check in 3D

A lower terrace, three white columns, and terrace beams are now complete. Orbit to the side to view the thickness of the floor slab under the wall. Save with the S key.

Done!

Done. We have created the floor slab and terrace using the slab tool, three columns using the column tool, and terrace beams using the beam tool. In the next episode, we will create a gable roof and cut the gable wall following the roof. Working on a house design, architecture studio task, or civil engineering final project?
