With roof you can use the extras menu to create floor joists/beams in one operation and change the slope of the edges. Do not know of any additional advantages but surely the slab tool itself apparently does not have any advantages?!<BR />Thanks,<BR />Joseph Harouni</DIV> Thu, 30 Jan 2025 11:28:43 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Roof-Tool-vs-Slab-Tool/m-p/12298#M175385 Anonymous 2025-01-30T11:28:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Roof-Tool-vs-Slab-Tool/m-p/12299#M175386 I suppose the Slab tool has the advantage of being simpler and different.

I dont know but maybe the slab is more efficient in GDL (hence 3Ds quicker) but I have never tested that.
