How to draw a projected plan of inclined floor/roof  in Steel AutoDrafter. 

Steel AutoDrafter module has option to draw projected plan for inclined plane. the only requirement here is that all the nodes or members will be in same plane. If even 1mm deviation is there program will not be able to generate the proper .dxf and in some cases it creates a partial drawing. So, the correctness of the STAAD model is very important.

Here a short video is attached to demonstrate the workflow including creation of an inclined plane in STAAD and generation of drawing.
