Concrete Panel

How would you like to model your concrete panels for your project? This is often a question found elsewhere. You need it to be a wall. For a rough representation, use wall reveals for showing panel joints. However, it might cause a headache when wanting the panels as separate pieces.
For performance issues, I would not recommend using in-place families. There's a lot of overhead to the model in terms of size.


Lastly, I will still advocate using a column family to represent concrete panels if there is a need for shop drawings. You are more flexible in using it, like placing it on a slanted position, do the shape whatever you want. Any other suggestions out there?
