Panel Breaks in Roof Slab


Recommended Posts

@KIT KOLLMEYER you need to use the Slab Drainage tool to apply a slope to a Slab. Add drains to two corners, connect them together, then in edit mode drag the inner blue control handles for each drain up to the opposite corners so you have a valley along each upward sloping edge of the slab. Edit these valleys to define the slope angle.

But be aware that the modifiers won't rotate with the slab so either apply the slope first then subtract the 3D objects afterwards or edit the modifiers + rotate the 3D objects you subtracted as a separate operation

@Tom W. Thank you for the explanation, and @jeff prince thank you for the link. Honestly, the complexity of forcing the slab tool to create a sloped roof just for the workaround of creating panel breaks doesn't seem like an efficient use of time. I hope Vectorworks will add more functionality to roof slabs soon. If the software is able to create recesses in a slab I don't see why it can't do it in a roof slab.
