Slanted profile creation

Participant

I am creating a profile with a slope.

 

When I change the height value, I want the tilt angle to remain the same and the shape to change as shown in the image.
I would like to change it by utilizing the height property instead of stretching.

How can I create one?

 

Please someone tell me.
Thanks.

With the Height modifier on, select the limit lines and use the Ctrl + D to move the boundary to only include any part that you want to stretch. You can do the same with the Width modifier.

ps. On a side note, the same move command can be used to position the Window Reference Line when making Complex Profile Walls.

to be a bit more explicit...you need to check the box for 'height' stretch in the profile parameters, and then reposition the top and bottom lines something like this:

That way they will only stretch the portion of the profile between the two horizontal guide lines when you change the height dimension.

Hi Ling.

 

I'm late in contacting you.
thank you for your answer.

 

I was able to resolve the issue by changing the dimension type.
I've attached an image of the dimension type change.

 

The reason I didn't use the horizontal guideline of the stretch box was because I wanted to control the shape with dimension values.

Hi Jeff

 

thank you for your answer.

I replied the Ling, but I solved it by changing the dimension type.

Thank you for cooperation.

Ah. A little bit of confustion on our part. I never noticed that the default modifiers mentioned "Stretch". Good to hear you got the result you were looking for.
