9.4.2.5. Sloped slab with reference points

With this command you can create sloped slabs by defining three reference points.

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

• Select a bottom point of the slab to specify its height. If you want to specify an upper point of the slab, use the keyword UPPER.

• Specify height value or use the keyword LIKE to select an existing slab, wall, object or roof and select any point of that to read its height. Click on the UPPER or BELOW to define the height of the selected point in the top or bottom point of the selected element. The program will display height value in a dialog box; you can accept or refuse this value:

• Specify the height for two other reference points.
