We will now discuss how to slope the walls using the Standard > Heights page.

Edge of Wall options

The Edge of Wall drop list allows you to select and control each section of the wall individually.

• In Ortho preview mode you can see the selected section highlighted;
  • in this example wall 2.

• The End is the end of the last section;
  • in this example it is the end of wall 3. 

Sloped option

Wall Section 1

In this example we will select Edge of Wall 1 and slope it by reducing the LHS height.

1. Enable/tick the Sloped check box, as shown;  
   • this will provide extra details regarding the Next Top/Bottom height.
2. Enter 2100mm to start at Top of wall;
   • which creates the slope to the next section (i.e. Wall 2) which has a Top height of 2700mm.

Wall Section 2

In this example we will select Edge of Wall 2 and only enable/tick the Sloped checkbox.

• as shown, the Next Top (i.e. Wall 3) is 2700mm.

Wall Section 3

Now we will select Edge of Wall 3 and increase its height.

1. Enable/tick the Sloped check box, as shown;  
2. enter 3100mm to start at Top left of current section ;
   • which creates the slope to the previous section (i.e. Wall 2) as well as the slope of Wall 3.
   • the Next Top is the End of Wall 3.

End Edge

This shows that the Top of the End (i.e. Wall 3) is 2700mm.
