modeling a slab with a sloped top and a flat bottom

Anonymous

What is the coolest, easiest way to model a slab that has a sloped top and a flat bottom?

For now we are using the wall tool to make a wall the is say,..."6'x22'x2' tall and trim that with a roof that has the slope we want on the top of the slab. Then we throw the roof on a layer that is shut off.

I come to ArchiCAD from formZ where modeling this slab would be pretty straightforward. What is the cool, easy way to model this slab in ArchiCAD?

Thanks,
John

yep unless you want a composite then follow Bens link. Unfortunately there is nothing particularly cool about meshes as they are a pain to use.

Ben,

You're just doing that to make the rest of us look slow.
