Did this warning appears when you use this object ?
Where did you find "roof_slope_v1accessory.gsm" ? Is it part of the standard library on US version ArchiCAD ?
Is so, extract that library in a folder off your choice and find that macro.

Sorry, but without that object macro "m_slope_arrow.gsm", the "roof_slope_v1accessory.gsm" is unusable. Try to find it!

I ran the search in the entire server but no result.
I don't know what else to do.
Thanks

Although, being an "accessory-object", the scripts are a bit complex, the pitch arrow drawing seems very basic, judging from the object preview image.
I managed to write a short routine inside the object itself, in substitution of the missing macro. See if it works for you.
[edit: updated object to show /12'' and /12']

Thank you for taking time to fix this object.
It's working fine, but I don't know how to change the slope to positive when I switch the degree in inches and feet. and mirrored the text.
Thanks

Testing the object, I saw this on one of my roofs... The problem is persistent on copies of that roof, even if mirrored and/or rotated. On others it works in the intended way. Still investigating, but at the moment no idea for a solution.
I can force the result to be positive (see the attached new version), but the symbol stays mirrored.
Setting pen 0 for the arrow, the object places a circle and two little segments to mark the origin and x-y axes of the roof accessory. This is normally the left end of the roof reference line, but in the erroneous ones it is on the right end.

Thanks, for your time. With some turning and mirroring, it will work even when you change between inches and degrees. But if you make any changes, it will revert to its default position (upside down).
Thanks

I am sorry for the delay answer Andro, but it is not a US library
