    Cool Sloping Walls in ADT

    I have just started using AutoCAD Architecture 2008 from using AutoCAD 2004 (a bit leap) and have been thrown in the deep end on my first project. I have a wall that slopes outwards (in effect each floor is overhanging each other) over 8 storeys and I am having difficulty in finding a command that allows me to do this.

    Any help is gratefully recieved.

    Unfortunately ACA doesn't do too well at this. The best results that I have been able to produce is by creating a profile and applying it to the wall as a sweep, complications can occur in multi component walls needing multiple sweeps. Also inserting windows/doors etc on a slope isn't easily done.

    Other suggestions I've heard but not tried is to use mass elements converted to walls, or rotating the UCS (never really understood that one though ).
