Editing slab geometry with 3D modifiers
A slab can be modified by a 3D shape, such as an extrude, tapered extrude, extrude along path, sweep, solid, or closed mesh. These modifications allow a slab to have a ramp, add support beams, or include drainage features. The boundaries of the modifier can be specifically defined according to its shape, or they can simply be defined by the slab boundary.
