metal roof deck/Profiler/archiFORMA

For those who can remember,..

Still working on AC7.0r3v3, and I have created metal roof deck (which is exposed) in Profiler. Problem is, I can't get it to slope in the long direction. I realize that Profiler only extrudes parallel to the plan view, and when my deck profile itself slopes, Profiler works great. But when the deck slopes in the long direction I am out of luck. Tried to modify the GDL script, but the best I could do was to move the whole section in the 'z' direction, not just the one end to get the appropriate slope (imperial-1/8" per foot).

Does anyone remember what the script language is to rotate in this manner? I really am a novice with GDL, so all of my attempts have been trial and many errors. Also read in the forum that I could use ArchiFORMA but Cigraph says it is not available anymore. Anyone have an old copy of ArciFORMA I could purchase for use to solve this problem?

Thanks
