# How To Model Sharing Slope Between Conjoined Platforms

[**Project file to refer**](https://largefilehosting.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/ProjectSharing/Update%20Blogpost%20Link/_10816-backup-2.4.7.0-060320111316.zip)

Sharing a centralized slope can be achieved as the diagram below. The situation is when there are two connected platforms and the slopes between them are continuously connected.

*Platform 1 and Platform 2 are joined and the slope generated is centralized between those two slopes*

To centralize the slope between the two platforms, both of the edges have to slope inwards. The slopes are required to be assigned as “Slope In”. Double click on the platform to come out with the Platform Editor.

*Edge 4 of Platform 1 is the sharing edge between the platforms, therefore edge 4 is assigned as “Slope In”  *

*Edge 4 of Platform 2 is the sharing edge between the platforms, therefore edge 4 is assigned as “Slope In”*

**There are two ways to create the sharing slope.**

# **Relative Height**

Relative height is the **height** where the slope starts. For example, if the elevation of the platform is 25 m and 2.5 m is the relative height, therefore the slope starts at 27.5 m.

Choose the sharing edge of Platform 1(in this example Edge 4 is the sharing edge). Click Slope Start Config. and choose Relative Height.

*2.5 m above the elevation of Platform 1 (25 m). Therefore, the slope is generated inwards at 27.5 m*

For Platform 2, the slope also has to be connected at the same slope height as Platform 2 which is at 27.5 m. Therefore, the relative height is 2.5 m below 30 m, thus -2.5 m relative height.

*-2.5 m below the elevation of Platform 2 (30 m). Therefore, the slope is generated inwards at 27.5 m. *

Create a cut section across the platforms and Generate Slope.

*The slope is centralized between the platforms. 2.5 m above Platform 1 and 2.5 m below Platform 2. *

# **Absolute Height**

Absolute height is the **elevation** where the slope starts. For example, if the elevation of the platform is 25 m, and you want the slope generation to start at 27.5 m, then you just simply put 27.5 m.

*27.5 m is where the slope starts at Platform 1.*

For Platform 2, the method is the same.

*27.5 m is where the slope starts at Platform 2. *

Create a cut section across the platforms and Generate Slope.

*The slope is centralized between the platforms. Both edges of the slope are connected at 27.5 m. *
