Creating sloped slabs with reference lines

9.4.2.6. Creating sloped slabs with reference lines

With this command you can create a sloped slab by defining a reference line and the angle of the sloped slab.

Select the walls along which you want to create the sloped slab.

Before selecting the walls select the SHIFT keyword from the prompt if you want to place the slab to a given distance from the contour defined by the walls. Specify the distance for the shifting. If the slab is smaller than the contour defined by the walls, use a negative value to specify the distance for shifting.

Use the POPMENU keyword and in the Profile definition menu specify slab profile if you want to use a profile other than that of the wall contours.

&For a description of the Profile definition, see Chapter 8.2. Specifying profile.

After defining the slab profile, specify the reference line with two points. These will have the same height. An arrow perpendicular to the reference line represents the sloping direction.
If the direction is not acceptable, prior to the definition of the second point, use the ENTER command to return to the definition of the first point.
A dialog box will pop up where you can enter the height of the reference line and the angle.

OkCompletes the command.
