Roof Slope Symbol - parametric and adjustable.

rob2218

Looking to see if anyone has a simple "roof slope" symbol that is parametric and adjustable.
meaning:
1. need to be able to change font style.
2. as the pline changes slope, the text changes along with the pline.
3. can be increased and decreased in size.
4. pens can also be adjusted to thickness.

Try a search for "Roof Slope" in the Object Dialog Box. There is one available that is fairly flexible. Used it not too long ago.

Try looking under "label", not "object".

here's a really "slick" roof slope label.
I found it off some website where this dude makes custom stuff.

Ted was saying to use 'search' in the objects dialogue.
This will bring up a roof slope object in the BIMComponents portal.
Probably not as good at the one you have found though (i.e. can't adjust font and is not adjustable with hotspots).
