Display slope analysis base on percent instead of degrees

[tcorey]

Does anyone know a way to make the surface slope analysis display in percent instead of degrees?

Does anyone use degrees when describing land slope.

Do you mean the settings under:

Application Options: Unit Configuration?

[JasonArtley]

@TrevN is correct, the slope setting is under "Unit Configuration" in the Application Options. Select the "Slope" box and you can change the display preferences on the right.

Nope, that's not what I am looking for. Apply a Slope Analysis to a Terrain Theme. Notice the slope is in degrees, not percent or rise/run.

My friend @tcorey,

I don't think it is possible to do what you are looking for. Not in this version.

I received a tech support reply from Autodesk stating that this is not possible. This is a pretty basic concept. Go to any engineering company in the USA, I don't know about the rest of the world, and they calculate/display slope as either percent or ratio (run:rise or rise:run) I have never seen an engineering firm wanting to display slope in degrees. I'm not saying it has never happened, but I've never seen it.

Is this in the documentation anywhere that slope analysis is in degrees? Searched a bit and didn't find anything.

We are running version 18.0.45.0.
