Get slope symbol on Isometric when reducer is present

How can i get the slope symbole on isometric when a reducer is used?

I noticed that as soon as a reducer is placed on a piece of pipe the slope symbole does not show

It works for me - see my settings below:

  <!-- 'Skew2d': Can be 'Box', 'BoxWithTriangle', 'TrianglePlusNormalDimensioning', or 'TrianglePlusAlternativeDimensioning'. -->
  <!-- 'Skew3d': Can be 'Box', 'BoxWithTriangles' or 'DoubleTriangles'. -->
  <!-- 'IncludeBranches': Set 'true' to include the whole pipeline in a skew. 'false' to split at branches (i.e. Tees). -->

Your correct @jabowabo 

But as soon as the reduces is connected to an flange its over

 

See the 2 screenshots

The first is the ISO of the pipe

The second is the 3D model showing the pipe is under slope

@jabowabo 

For what I can see now Plant 3D has issues with excentric reducers

Concentric reducers are working fine 

See screenshot of concentric reducer and slope sign
