Some times it just feels like the developers of these competitor and rival programs just look through ArchiCAD wishlist pages and pick what features to add to their respective software from there, while GS are busy ignoring their own users.
I don't think so...
As you said, Archicad and Vector Works (among many other software) are property of Nemetschek. So their develop teams just do what they are told to do. They are not really competidors. They just have the same boss.
For me it is more like this...

As Barry Kelly has suggested, the "roof" tool is typically used for a "slab with inclination," grade, slope or whatever. I've used this method for many, many years.

Have you tried the mesh tool?
The base is flat and nodes can be added to the top and heights of those nodes can be set to get the heights that you need.

I guess that could be something like Composites on a mesh with constant thickness? That'd be awesome.

Mark wrote:Even if you take the roof, move into the archicad properties of the object, set a roof as slab, and set the IFC properties correctly, it will still work as a separate kind of entity. For example, Archicad 23 has as a new feature Improved Floor Plan Representation of Connected Slabs. When connecting a roof and a slab for making a pavement in which a portion is sloped, I don't think that will be available, because the software won't see them as connected slabs. I really wish it did, then I could really pretend the roof tool is exactly a sloped slab.

And I did not mean to come out as agressive. But I am frustrated on how people didn't even read my post, or that I explicitly said I have used the roof tool, and that I find it unreasonable that we should have to do so for a complete software solution for our architectural workflow. I am sorry if I did sound aggressive, it was not my intention.
