FLOOR AND ROOF WITH SLOPE

Floor and roof with slope

”Shape Editing” used to change the surface of an existing floor/roof by specifying
individual height cotes to create a slope.

By specifying different heights on the floor/roof surface is split up into smaller "Sub-Regions"
that could slope differently.
It is possible to create slope on the deck and roof, which consists of only one layer of uniform
thickness. Otherwise, a layer, in a structure with several layers, assign function variables in
"Type of properties", and thus it is this layer that provides a slope – for example a surface layer
in a groud slab.

In order to be able to make use of Shape Editing, the following rules should be respected:
The floor or roof should be flat (no slope) and lie on a horizontal level.

The following Shape Editing Tools is displayed
when one of the listed items are marked:

Type Description
This function is used to assign existing points in individual
heights.

This feature provides the ability to create new points on the slab
and thereby generate slope, which originally was not present.
Here you can draw lines on the slab for subdivision(Sub-
Regions) of the deck in order to be able to let a part of the deck

to be leveled and other parts have slope.
Identify supporting elements to automatically create Split Lines
on the deck.

Reset any customizations of the deck.
