Revit roof slope arrow annotation. I have created a roof cricket family and am finding discrepancies with revit s spot slope tool when the crickets are placed on a sloped roof host. Enter a value for offset from reference. To create a slope for an odd shaped roof like the one below use slope arrow. For slope representation enabled in an elevation or section view select arrow or triangle.

Revit snaps to the cornerpitch of the roof. I think this may be how revit is calculating the slope with respect the host surface but i can t wrap my brain around it. When you draw a slope arrow you can enter property values to specify the height at its head and tail or a slope value. Optional change the following on the options bar.

This create an uni directional slope parallel to the arrow. If you press tab when dimension spot slope in elevation view and the roof is a hip roof with 15 degrees on all 4 roofsides the angel will show alternate 15 and 10 7 degrees. Draw the arrow then click it and change the properties to select the right levels and offsets. Also for the life of me i can t figure out how to nest a simple arrow annotation that i wan t to use to indicate the slope.

Ceilings for example to create a flat sloping roof draw a slope arrow from the lower edge to the upper edge of the roof boundary. The tail is the low point and the head is the high point.
