Applying Vertical Slope to Selected Elements

Applying Vertical Slope to Selected Elements in StatiCAD

If you need to apply a slope to certain elements on a floor, such as a roof floor, you can do so by changing the right and left elevation values of the elements. An easier method is to select the elements you want to slope. Right-click on a selected element and click the "Apply slope to selected elements on floor" option, or click the slope button on the right toolbar. Select the reference node point to be used for determining elevations and direction, then select the target node point. For ease of operation, select the reference node points so that the first point you click is where the slope begins and the last point is where the slope ends (e.g., the ridge point).

In the form that appears, default values indicate that the first point of the line you drew will be -100 cm below the floor elevation and the right point will be +100 cm above. Change the values according to your project and click the OK button. When you click the OK button, the form automatically closes and all selected elements within the zone are given a vertical slope between the specified elevation values.
