When required, the user can apply a single slope to a screed element by the addition of a negative volume to the screed definition. Only one slope can be applied to any screed element, to apply multiple slopes to an area, the user must first split the overall screed into separate elements. On the WALLS AND FLOORS tab, in the Tools group, click Screed Slope to display the Screed Slope window.

The user must select the required screed element, from the Screed Slope window main menu bar, click Select:

The user must now select the slope contour, angle and direction for the Screed Slope element, from the Settings pane of the window select:

To define the slope contour, from the Type drop-down list, select Straight or Conical. The angle of the slope normal to the screed plane must now be defined, enter the slope angle in degrees into the Slope field.

The direction along which the slope angle is measured from the screed plane, is automatically displayed in the Direction field.

To make sure that the angle is calculated so that the slope passes through the defined point. To do this, select the Lock checkbox.

To position a point through which the surface that slopes is to pass, from the main menu bar of the Screed Slope window, select Position:
