Setting Roof Pitch

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:57:58 GMT

When making a pitched roof such as an A-frame design, is there a simple way to set its pitch? Anyway I can enter say 6/12 or 3/12 in order to set the pitch or does it have to be done manually?

Thanks in advance for the replies!

You can enter rise/run slopes in the settings dialog. The info palette is limited to degrees.

Alright thanks. I actually didn't even realize you could change the feet to degrees in the roof settings which would have been good enough.

Thanks again.

Jeesh.. so easy. Degrees or pitch. I got thrown off my the default setting of 12' since I'm always working with 12" when it comes to roof pitch (not that inches to feet is a difficult conversion).. but found it inconvenient. Was right in front of me!
