Slope Arrow should be defined by actual slope, not only by heights

Slope Arrow should be defined by actual slope, not only by heights

Slope Arrow, in roof and floor sketch, should let you define it by degrees, ratio, rise or slope percentage (whatever you chose in project units) not only by diferrence in heights of the arrow head... that would by a very time saving option.

This parameter it's shown on the properties panel of slope arrows, but you can edit it. It makes no sense for me.

Here an example of a situations when you need to use not so practical workarounds to get the precise slope you need on roofs... the same would happens for parking drainage.

Another workarround is to define the height of subelements on floors, but you have to edit the height of multiple points and do it manually on sections with a line as a reference to get a perfect slope (if not you will obtain a floor with interior edges for me the slightest change of slope).

Of course another option it creating in-place components and change their category... but it is a less desired way, and I think with Revit LT you can't do it.

My bad, it's actually possible.

Revit have a plenty of things, and you can always learn some new.
