SPOT SLOPE NOT READING GREATER THAN 12

[jledgewood409]

i have roof pitches that are 16"/12". when i place a spot slope on said roof it reads the 16" as something else. i am including a screen shot that shows the spot slope and the dimensions that read the correct slope.

Change reported units for slope? Project Unit=>Slope, or under the Type Parameters for the Family.   

...sounds like want a ratio:12 , not rise:run

Works here.  What are the Spot slope type settings?

the slope ratio that you have hi-lighted matches mine. I am not sure what in the type settings that you are asking me about?

[ToanDN]

Select the Spot Slope and Edit Type.

I am attaching a screen shot of the spot slope type properties

Still can't replicate it.  You may need to share a revit file.

is that a 22 1/2" : 12" Roof Slope, @ToanDN?  A 16":12" Roof Slope is 11 3/4"or 75% of 12".

[ToanDN]

No it is a 16"-per-foot sloped roof.

Left is 16"-per-foot, right is 9"-per-foot.  What are you trying to say?

Any guesses @ToanDN? Voodoo Magic? Not quite...

...yes, the spot annotation is real; not faked

[ToanDN]

I know - placed on surfaces versus placed on the edge between 2 sloped surfaces.

@jledgewood409  you got it, bud?  what you see is a spot elevation reporting the intersection of 2 sloped planes of a roof.

@jledgewood409: Use the tab key to select the right surface when placing your slope annotation. Currently it's referencing the hip slope.
