In multi-storey building model with store-front curtain wall systems, what is the best strategy to represent the intermediate floor slab construction as part of the exterior envelope. I am currently trying to reprsent a 9" thick concrete slab as a solid concrete wall of 9" thick. This is not really a wall, but I am not convinced that the curtain wall area be extended to cover the slab either. The total envelope surface area of the intermediate floors in 35 floors with 200 ft of slab edge makes it a significant amount of slab permieter envelope area that needs to be modeled correctly. Please share any standard practice or workaround.
