If you are meaning the copy "floor/ceiling slope" thing, then the way to use it is simple. What it does is copy the exact slope of an already existing slope, and it does this by tagging the sector that has the slope. Then you simply place the thing into a different sector of any shape or form. You now have two non connecting (or if you like, connecting) sectors that have the same slope, only sloped by one line (or vertex slopes).

You do know you shouldn't make terrain using only one slope.

If not, then i would suggest using the vertex slope floor/ceiling thing. all you have to do is have any 3 sided sector and place one of them over each vertice. Then just change the height of each 'thing' as desired. You can repeat this on multiple sectors as long as they're 3 sided only.

The AVAVAV trick may be too tedious but combining it with vertex slope floor/ceiling thing and copy ceiling/floor thing results can be great like in this image (Its an AOW map that Im developing):
