    Default Surface Slope Expression

    Can I write an expression to round up or down from .5 to whole #?

    How would this differ from setting the precision to 0 with normal rounding in the label style?

    HI
    OK here we go if you want all the % at the whole number and yet read .0% (although I'm not sure why you would want that) in the dialog select the whole number precision then type in (.0%)

    So, this is confusing. If I understand you, you want a slope of 2.500 to display as 3.0%? By showing significant figures to one decimal point, that would mean that the slope is between 3.05 and 2.95 -- that's a long way from 2.500, and potentially opening you up to ADA issues when display something that's not correct.

    Its at shoulders of a gravel parking lot with GIS for existing topo. in order to keep grading object to a minimum the Shoulder edge feature line is a stepped offset. See the -4% shoulder labels. not a crtitical area so I want another label style supported by an expression that rounds from .5

    HI
    so you said it make a copy of the style you want with the new parameters. Or what would do as I understand it especially for a steeped offset is make a typical cross section with various parameters
