Inclined Slabs

After defining a slab, users may modify it and assign its inclination, as follows:

  1. select the Inclined or elevated slab checkbox (three points need to be selected graphically to specify the slab elevation);
  2. select the Point 1 radio button;
  3. click on the Graphical Select button;
  4. specify the slab's point on the Main Window by clicking on it;
  5. modify the value of the Z1 coordinate to specify the slab's elevation in Point 1 (the X1 & Y1 coordinates, that corresponds to the graphically selected Point 1, are automatically assigned).

The same procedure should be repeated for the other two points.

The neighboring beams’ elevation and column heights are automatically adjusted, whereas the columns are subdivided in shorter elements by the program, if this is required, i.e. in the cases where two or more beams are supported by the same column at different levels, thus creating short columns.
