Sloped Walls question
Hi,

I see the newer versions contain the ability for sloped walls.

I have a House which is on a sloped block of land.

roughly 27 degree slope

How can I start a wall at point A

have it go 10m and have it end at point B on a 27 degree slope?

I have been unable to find a guide so far.

any assistance appreciated.

Maybe you could try the Math Forum ?

Re: Sloped Walls question
B must be tan(27°) x 10 = 5.1 m higher than A.

Friends,
i believe he's looking for a solution to create a downwards sloping wall, with a leveled upper end and the floor on top....

Thanks for that, very productive.

now onto my question, where is the option in the GUI for these settings for a wall?

Yes, thank you your version makes more sense.

Re: Sloped Walls question
If you use the above formula to calculate the slope, you can then use (in this order)
- CopyAsNewFurniture (to eliminate the floor) (see plug-ins PDF),
- Export to OBJ format (to export the wall segment as a model) and
- Import furniture.

Make sure that during importation you rotate the wall segment 180 degrees, so that the sloping side ends up at the bottom.

Re: Sloped Walls question
For one horizontal or vertical wall, no need to install CopyAsNewFurniture plugin.
