Height offset roof. But what is the slope?

[Anonymous]

Hello. I made a roof with 1500mm height offset from its base posistion. But it sais its 18.43 degrees slope, but its not right. How can I find what the real slope for this roof is?

Why do you think the slope shown is not right? I think it is. To check: finish the roof and place a spot slope on it and see.

18.43 is 4" / 1' 0".  That's a fairly conventional slope.  It's not an odd-ball if that's what you are wondering.  

...Do you normally set your Slope format to Decimal Degrees? We use rise/run.  FWIW.

Looks right to me.

Apparently you are right.  The grayed out slope shown in the properties is incorrect.  It looks like the default slope should you specify the slope arrow to slope instead of height.  My apology for being ignorant.

Ah, I missed that.  "Height at Tail" not "Slope".  Good eye.   Sounds like the solution too.  Arrgh!
