Question on single plane roof / ramp

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I connect a ramp to a slab, the plane of the ramp is not aligned with the slab in 3D. (see the screenshot). It looks like that there is another slope perpendicular to the roof pitch. It's maybe because the two elements are not connected by a 90 degree angle but still I expect to see the two nodes at the same height.

Check the angle of the Roof's Pivot Line (turned on via On-Screen View Options). Since the Roof and Slabs don't intersect in plan at a 90˚ angle, I think the Roof Pivot Line will need to be parallel to the intersection angle.

Thank you so much! Yes, the pivot line was in the root of the problem of the 3D model.
