Sloped Walls question

[StylusPilot]

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 ?

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.

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.

For one horizontal or vertical wall, no need to install CopyAsNewFurniture plugin.
