View Full Version : Roof Slope shown in Roof Plan Automatically?

I was working with different roof slopes the other day and was wondering if anyone had figured out a way to have a graphical symbol read the slope parameter in the roof family and display it on each sloped side of the roof.

The only way I was thinking would be to have the slope as a parameter in the roof tag, although that does not display like the typical roof slope symbol.

Thanks in advance!

Please see the help file on Spot Slopes. The work in plan as well as elevation. Might not be what your after, as I'm not sure what your looking for "graphical" wise.

Oh! sorry for the simple question, I need to open my eyes a little more before asking such questions. Maybe I need more coffee.

Yes that answers my question, I had hoped for it to automatically happen, but then again if it happened every time a roof was created the documentation would be cluttered.

Thanks again!
