I want to make a one way slab that is cantilevered off of a beam how should I attempt to do this?

Consider one of the following options ,

- Model the slab with FEM shell elements supported by FEM beam line elements,
- Calculate cantilever moment and apply to the supporting beam torsion effect and wt of the slab UDL.,

A sketch would help to get better responds.

SAP2000 doesn't really do one-way slabs with flexural stiffness as far as I know. You can try playing with stiffness modifiers, but it won't get you to true one-way action. Cantilever a two-way slab and you can check the one-way reinforcement by hand. Or split it up into a bunch of cantilevered line elements.
