Slope Control
|
Roof slope can be controlled by three methods. The
options are:
- Rise : Run –
Expressed as an equation of colon separated, numeric values for rise (vertical
distance) and run (horizontal distance).
- Angle (y°) –
Expressed as a numeric angle value in degrees, from 0 degrees (horizontal) to
90 degrees (vertical). Values can be integers or decimal numbers.
- Percent (x %) –
Expressed as a numeric percentage value for pitch; the percentage of vertical
rise per foot of horizontal run.

Enter the appropriate numeric expression (Rise :
Run; Angle; or Percent) for the selected Slope Control.
Accepted values are made available in the option
menu for continued use.
Tip:
Setting the Slope to
0 (zero) turns off the slope for a
selected form.
