i made a pipe family. Now i wanted to make the pipe family line based. so i nested it in the line based family and used array command to amke it line based. Now i want to add slope to the series of pipes but it is not working. can someone please help.
How to give slope to line based array family
Accepted solution
Try to place a family place on face instead of workplane (create temporary face ) . or you can create structural frame based family to adjust both end elevation.

You mean you want to place and draw the Line-Based Array Family on a Sloped Face in the Project? If so, check the Contextual Tab on placement in the Project. There a 2 Placement Options -- Place on Face and Place on Work Plane. But you can only draw in one linear direction per placement instance. There are other methods to build "arrayed" families that can change directions/hosts in one shot. Is that what you are after?
BTW: Ever use Pipe from the Systems Tab?
Draw a reference plane for your second pipe and use the H to control the offset.
Then you can get the angle, or 1/X using formula.
