Working with slope arrows
- In this video I want to talk about slope arrows. Slope arrows are a tool used inside the sketch of a roof or a floor to control the slope. Now, I've got a couple different roofs here in this file and I'm going to select this first one right here and go to edit footprint and I'll just sort of zoom in a little bit here and at the moment this is a completely flat roof and there's no slope applied. Now previously, what we've been doing in some of the earlier videos is selecting one of the edges and turning on defines slope and if I did that it would hinge this roof up along that edge so if I click finish right here you'd see it create a shed roof along that edge. So another way to think about a slope defining edge is the slope will always run perpendicular to the edge direction, so let me go to edit footprint here and I'm going to turn that off. What do you do if you want the slope to follow a different direction? Well…
