Sloped Rectangle Tool

Draw a sloped rectangle by clicking four points — insertion point, width, depth, then height or slope angle. Supports both horizontal and vertical orientation modes.

How it works

1. Click to set the insertion point
2. Move and click to define the width
3. Move and click to define the depth (horizontal) or height (vertical mode)
4. Move and click to define the height or slope angle — type a value in the VCB for precision

Keys

• ← → ↑ ↓ = Toggle between horizontal and vertical mode
• Ctrl / Option = Toggle between height and angle input for the last step
• Esc = Cancel the operation

VCB Input

• Width step: length — set precise width
• Depth step: length — set precise depth or vertical height
• Height step: length — set precise height; or angle° when angle mode is active

Tips

• Horizontal mode: width and depth are flat, height creates the slope upward
• Vertical mode: width is horizontal, depth goes vertical, height creates the horizontal overhang
• Use Ctrl/Option to switch to angle mode and type the slope in degrees instead of a distance
• Dimension lines in red, green, and blue show each axis as you build the shape
