Working with slope arrows

“

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to look at an alternative way to apply slope to elements like roofs and floors called slope arrows. So we've already looked at slope defining edges and shape editing tools, and both of those are perfectly effective ways to slope a roof. But in this video we're going to see that there is an alternative called slope arrows which has some unique properties. Now, let me first demonstrate what the differences are. So I'm going to select this roof over here and go to edit footprint, select one of its edges, and turn on define slope, which is a method we've already looked at in an earlier video. When I click finish, I get this shed form here and it's sloping in a single direction. But the important thing that I want you to notice about it is the slope runs perpendicular to the edge that we turned on to find slope. In other words, if you visualize that edge as a hinge, like a door…
