Not a fan of' Revit, I'd use Sketchup as it's user friendly', was just wondering if it's possible to make sloped slabs quick (like in under ground garages etc.)
@svenglezz In that case, it is quick because you have rise:run properties in the properties palette. That's much easier than sloped to drain, because sloped to drain is normally a tapered slab, i.e. the thickness varies.
@svenglezz You can piece it together out of 4 slabs, although this will not be technically accurate because the bottom will also be sloping (the slab is essentially tilted). You could custom model something if you didn't require it to be an AEC object. Or draw it flat and don't lose sleep over the model being 100% true - which is impossible anyway. Or you could use Revit, which handles this better.
I found one example on CADClips showing sloping "parkade" looks good

what about a "sloped" slab? say to floor drains?
