Slopeing a wall

[Anonymous]

Heya,
i would like to slope a wall a have for a project.
the effect i am trying to achive is in an elevation perspective

- starting at 9 meters high then at 3 meters across gradually sloping down to 6 meters then leveling off

i hope that makes sense
can anyone help?

Either use a sloping roof thru your wall as an operator in an SEO (Solid Element Operation) or the old fashioned "Trim to roof" which is permanent. (If you use SEO the operator must remain in the model, but can be on a layer turned off)

(re-reading your question, do you mean a curved slope flattening out? or a constant slope down to a point, then changing to horizontal?)

something like that - where the line is the top of the wall
(this is the elevation)

sorry that didnt work

basically a flat top for a bit
slopes down
then a flat top again

this is refering to the wall in elevation

[Anonymous]

If it was unlikely to change I would use the "trim to roof" in that case. 3 sections of wall, first section full height, flat top, second section full height, trimmed to roof, third section lower height.

TIP: you can draw the roof in the 3D window picking relevant points at different heights to set up roof slope if you don't know what the exact angle is.

Something like this? Basic I know! This was drawn with lines just to represent the perspective view. I'm not sure if it can be done but I'd like to be able to do this in elevations myself.

You could use multiple roof slabs, and trim to roof (as mentioned before) or a complex profile and SEO (I think, if you're after something slightly more regular than your sketch)

Of course there is always the new favorite, the complex profile if you can think of a short wall oriented 90 degrees normal to the length. Also, if it must be that organic, and not just a mouse and a sketched line , then the mesh tool could work.

Custom profile wall describing the top of your wall and long as much as your wall is thick.

Or, flat roof plus vaulted roof plus flat roof cutting off the unwanted portion.

Or, SEO

Many ways ...
