- [Instructor] In this video I want to talk about an alternative way to create slope in your roof and floor slabs and that is using a feature called Slope Arrows. Now, in our more traditional shaped roofs we use the slope-defining checkbox to say that we wanted certain edges of the roof sketch to slope and that's very effective if you want to do sheds or hips or gables or any of the other traditional forms. If you think about what turning on the slope-defining checkbox actually does, let me edit the footprint of this roof and then select this edge here and define slope, so when you get that little triangle here and you turn that on, what it really is saying is that the slope runs perpendicular to that edge. So, if we're thinking of that edge as a hinge, then you have to imagine that the slope runs perpendicular to that hinge. Well, what if the slope that I wanted to define didn't run perpendicular to that hinge? What if it ran in some other direction, for example, what if it went…
