How do you change the thickness of a floor in Revit?

Select the floor in the drawing area and adjust the properties

In the type selector, change the floor type

Changing the thickness of a floor in Revit is accomplished by modifying the floor type in the type selector. Each floor in Revit is defined by a specific floor type, which includes parameters such as thickness, materials, and structural properties. By selecting a different floor type from the type selector, you automatically change the attributes associated with that type, including its thickness. Using the type selector is the most effective method because it ensures that all properties related to that particular floor type are updated cohesively, preserving the integrity and design elements of your project. This method also maintains consistency across similar elements in your design. Adjusting floor properties directly in the drawing area could lead to inconsistencies, as it might not affect the structure or material definition adequately. The option to right-click and select 'Edit Thickness' does not exist in Revit, as thickness is not an adjustable property on a per-instance basis. Moreover, using the modify tool to resize a floor does not necessarily change its thickness, only its shape or footprint, which is not the objective when altering the thickness.
