While Autodesk reworks this [no slope] tag I would also love that they let us get the real value like 0.1%....

 

Until now floors (or drainage pipes) that were that "flat" will just get a [no slope] tag while they are sloped in reality for example at 1mm per each meter. Even by setting the rounding to more decimals or setting the units to x/1000mm, we can tag 0.4% slopes but not 0.1% slopes... why ?

 

In drainage systems or infrastructure projects like bridges and tunnels, it forces us to use text in place of tag because it's showing a misleading value... it's not about tolerances... it's about telling that an element is flat when it's not !

 

I would love to be able to freely set the units to get for example a tag showing 1mm/m (or 1cm/m) which is a lot more neat than 1/1000mm

 

I think there is not a lot of work there, just those little things :

  • make the [no slope] tag be bound to the Rounding Increment we actually choose so if we set 2 digit after the coma it can actually show e.g. 0.05% and not [no slope] !
  • Provide a box to set the [no slope] text we want to show (required for non-english projects) for slopes below the Rounding limit.
  • add a Ratio : x type where the x can be set by the Rounding Increment value to be able to show 2 : 3, 4 : 1, 3 : 2, 1 : 1, 1.5:1 on eathworks slopes.
    Another possibility of being an X/Y and Y/X type able to generate neat fraction values (then 1.5:1 will be 3:2).
  • add a Rise / x (with or without a number before the unit "m" ) type that let us chose the units symbol (and units) we want to use to be able to show 1cm/m, 1mm/m, 3mm/m that are alot more common than the present 1/1000mm.
