How to measure a ramps angle/slope

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:53:07 GMT

Hi
Im new to archicad and generally in CAD software
I'm using Archicad 15 on a mac at the moment
Ive been doing some designs that involve a ramp join between two floors
Need to know the angle of the ramp to recreate it in real life and see if it will work for my purposes
Is there any way to do that?

thanks

Cut a section through the ramp and then measure the angle with the measure tool or place an angle dimension.

dust66:

If you are using the Roof Tool to create the ramp (which would be my suggestion), in the Roof Settings > Geometry and Positioning > Roof Pitch, there is a small triangle at the top right of the input box that allows you to choose the angle units, one of the options is degrees. This will create a ramp of that angle, or if you have already placed a Roof as a ramp, you can select the Roof to check its angle. This same pitch and units options can be found in the Info Box for the Roof Tool.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thank you very much guys!
I did it with the angle dimension tool at the end !

ends up that 20 degrees is a bit steeper than what i expected!

thanks for the help
