Adding a thickened slab edge to a sloped slab

I have tried to use a model-in-place to add thickened slab edge to a sloped floor, and it didn't follow the slope.

And then I tried flattening the floor and adding the slab edge and adjusting the floor elevations again, but it also didn't work. I can't get it to follow the floor slope.

Please try one of the following methods.  (The first 2 relate to actual placement which is more difficult with slopes)

 

Method 1
If you are using the slope arrow to slope your slab, you can flatten the slab, add the edges, and then re-slope it. The edges will follow the slope.

 

Method 2
If you are using the Slab Shape editing tools or you do not want to flatten the slab, you can draw a model line along the sloped slab edge. You can then select this line when placing the slab edge, rather than the slab itself.

 

Method 3
Model In-Place Sweep and create the Sweep manually and ensure you fill in the missing slope element (you could use the existing Slab Edge as a guide then delete after)
