2.18.11 The “Floor layout” tool in Tekla Structures
This tool draws up lift slab series of a definite interval, clearance,
and reinforcement settings. Basically, it is a separate application
that allows drawing up complex structures.
Tekla Structures v21.1
The present Tekla Structures version is not available on the “Floor
layout” tool.
Tekla Structures v2021
Create a lift slab with dimensions of 1200 x 6000 mm.
The algorithm for using the “Floor layout” tool:
Enable the “Floor layout” tool.
Indicate the first point of the slab polygon.
Subsequently indicate the other lab polygon coordinates.
To finalize indicating the slab polygon points, press the mouse wheel
button or the "Space" key.
Press the Esc key to disable the “Floor layout” tool.

It is important to mention that the present tool does not create any new
object type, thus a double-click on it does not bring up the "Properties"
window. This tool is just an internal TS app that is drawing up lift
slabs. Execute a double-click at the object and get the “Floor layout”
window open.

Let’s add up a new slab layer by activating the respective Icon,
selecting the required object, and confirming the action by pressing the
“Modify” button. Refer to the below:
