Dimension Text is 180 out of phase

[MarkKMueller]

Hello,
I have a sectional view of a garage foundation wall with various dimensions going up the left side. All the dimension text reads from bottom to top. Then I add a dimension on the thickness of the garage floor, which slopes slightly away from the wall. Revit has decided that the dimension text needs to read from top to bottom, opposite of all of its neighbors. Any ideas for how to fix this?

TIA,
Mark

Draw in detail lines for the start and end points for the dimension... a brutal workaround but it does work.

Before resorting to a workaround consider a solution that would not loose the benefits of parametric behavior. Select your dimension and examine its type properties. Notice the Read Convention parameter. I think the default value is "Up, then Left". For your purposes you may need to create a new dimension type with a different value of Read Convention parameter.
