I'm modeling a local movie theater and many of the floors are sloping. I know I can slope a slab, make a wedge from shapes or draw a ramp, but is there a way to slope floor joists and the subfloor?

 

I tried it with a roof also...which kinda works but a lot of effort and it cleans up too often to be usefull as a floor (that's why it's a roof...)

Ramp

Did that, how do you turn it into framing and subfloor? Instead of a glorified shape.

It looks like 2024 will do it. Attached is a screenshot of a wooden ramp. It looks like 2020 will do it also. I've never have had a need for it. 2 days after I canceled my plus subscription they back dated the retirement for 2020 to January 2024 so I can't have any support. I thought it was crazy back dating the retiremnet. Below is a link for a wooden ramp in 2020.

You can also add a cube, any size & depth of course, and edit to slope w/ reference to Stack.  And then add any texture you want to the cube.

Thats it Richard! Thanks for digging in and finding this.

 

Fred, that works great too. I just wanted to have the framing components for modeling correctly and for SoftList.
