Using advanced Shape editing with Floors and Roofs
No flat roof is ever really flat! Fortunately there are tools that allow you to model tapered insulation
over a flat roof and similar conditions to give the roof a small pitch. These powerful tools are
modifiers that are applicable to roofs and floors and will allow you to model concrete slabs with
multiple slopes for sidewalks or roof assemblies with tapered insulation (see Figure 13.40).

activating this tool, the object's outer edges and corners will be available for editing.
