Is it possible to slant exterior walls? I think I saw something on this a year or two ago but unable to locate it.

try doing a forum search for "tilting wall"
I found the link and tried a copy and paste.
it would copy the link and paste it but it wouldn't "POST"
the reply with the LINK IN IT>
create a sloped siding profile and put it in the siding profile.
than edit the wall you want to use and click "definition"
do a "save as" of that wall and give it a name like
leaning wall top out or leaning wall bottom out and make the width of
the siding material the same width as the total width of
the sloped profile you made.
note: you might have to play with the profile a little
to get it leaning the right way.
I have a drawing somewhere, if I can find it, i'll
post a 3d of the sloped walls with an image of
the wall definition and also show an image of the profile.
try a search in the old forum. did a few of these tilting walls.
these are old wall definition so don't remember all the little
tips I discovered while trying to make them work.
this is something you have to experiment with.
you'll learn a lot about wall definitions and especially
the siding profiles and how they behave.
tip: the size you make the siding profiles are directly connected
with the size you make the "siding" in the wall definition.
you add the siding "PROFILE" at the far right while editing
the definition.
when changing anything within an existing wall definition,
remember to "SAVE AS" and give it a new name.
