Sloping hollow core or one way slabs in ETABS
(OP)
how can we model one way slab which is sloping too....We model slabs as SHELL when in slope but how can we make it one way too?

Or, alternatively, if you already have corner points at the right location you can draw your shell object in 3d mode. ETABS will treat the shell as a ramp instead of a floor though.
A couple points:
- I found in ETABS you could not flip or rotate the local axes for ramps. You'll need to either pay attention to where your local axes are for each elements when applying loads (if you don't just specify gravity loads) or wind pressure coefficients.
- You cannot apply diaphragms to ramps in ETABS. This means that if you have a sloped roof, then your auto-wind loads will not account for the wind area at the roof level. If you have a one-story building, you will end up with no wind load at all if your roof is sloped.
