Sloped Drop panel on a sloped Slab

Greetings 

I want to add a sloped drop panel to a sloped Slab, unfortunate the Slab "STR Floor" don't allow following a sloped refence 

I have also tried to slope the drop by arrow but I can't change the reference only i can change the offset inside the slope arrow which is very time consuming.

what is your ideas?

The Way i have achieved this in the past, select the Main Floor

Modify Tab > Clipboard Panel > Copy 

Clipboard Panel > Paste > Aligned to the Same Place 

Edit the duplicated slab size dimensions to those of the Drop Panel Element (it will use the same slope reference)

 

View the Floor/Drop Panel in an Elevation or Section view.then you can then either;

Use the Align Tool to snap the Drop Panel to the underside if the Floor Slab

or

Select the new Drop Panel and in the Properties Palette, adjust the Constraint parameters of the drop panel so that it is at the correct elevation in your model. (not as simply with sloped references)

Finally, use the Join Tool to combine the geometry of the elements if necessary.

thanks Jay 

It works with slope arrow using specify slope but it will take a lot of time to arrange the accurate position 
will try to automate with DYNAMO.
