Hi,
I've got an issues with the slab primitive from the tools palette (not the architecture tool).
In a first stepp I create a slab by clicking four node on the workplane.
In a second step I edit the four nodes in the Inspector form to bring it to "more exact" dimensions.
After clicking "Apply" the slab appears distorted in that way that there seems to be a fifth node that sticks at the origin of the slab. Is that an internal node that was generated when the contour of the slab was closed?
However, how can I edit a slab?
I hope the attached pics explain what I am writing about.

I just tried it and this bug seems to be in V10 as well. I guess there's nothing you can do about it, exept from forwarding this bug to the developer.

The alternatives for slab:
- If your slab is rectangular, just use the "block primitive" instead
- Other shapes can be done by drawing and extruding an "n-sided polygon".

Thanks to cad'n'stuff.
In the meantime I create the slab in a separate model at the origin, save it and after that I import it to the big model I am working on.
I then use functions like trim, draft face and move face to fit it into the big model.
