tapered slab edges

[Hobbesnb]

Is there a way to taper the thickness of a slab at it's edges without resorting to solid element operations or archiforma?

Slab edges cannot be chamfered except with SEO, but
roofs with zero pitch can masquerade as slabs and
their edges can be chamfered via the pet pallet edge angle item.

Then why is there the need for all these special elements, walls slabs roofs when they could do diddle for us beside the basics of cheep software.

Archicad must be reinvented to give us the freedom in space, as it stands is a yoke..... and please don's sent me to Revit it is about Archicad.

You can alter slab edges with an addition from Cadimage called Accessories Pack, it has a foundation tool that allows the edge to have any profile you desire

That's not really true. The CADImage tool lets you add a foundation underneath the slab that you draw, but it cannot alter the actual edge of the slab. You could not chamfer off the top corner of the slab or add a slot into it.

Even their precast concrete is added under the slab you drew, assuming that your slab is the concrete topping and that the precast members are added beneath it (!?).

as Peter says combine a 0º roof under a slab and control the edge slope of the "roof" Not ideal but it does work
