    'sloped' tag

    What kind of setting is responsible for this behavior? When the leader consists of only one line the tag is placed in the same angle as the material, but when a shoulder is added the tag is placed normal. Not all tag categories show like this, in this case it's a structural framing tag acting this way, i.e. the ceiling tag acts 'normal'.

    I've also compared the tags, but can't find any differences in settings (type nor instance).

    Nevermind. Just stumbled upon the 'rotate with component' checkbox, think that's the final answer.

    Need... More... :coffee:

      Did you model your flashing? If yes what methods did you choose?

        Erm... Could you define 'flashing'? When I Google for that word I get to some, well, highly explicit sites...

        Anyway, this screenshot was taken before detailing, so everything you see are 3D components.

          ROFLMAO :laugh:

          Not sure, but it could be the ridge he´s referring to? Like in "ridge with concealed flashing"... Strippers would be more fun though

            yeah you are right, its more "ridge with concealed flashing"
            Roof flashing is placed around discontinuities or objects which protrude from the roof of a building (such as pipes and chimneys, or the edges of other roofs) to deflect water away from seams or joints. - wikipedia
            To conclude , what proper technical word would be?
            Steel slate/plate on the ridge?

              Clear. I didn't make the family myself, but got it from our Revit dealer instead. It's a sweep with 2 different profiles, and 2 parameters for altering the slope for both roofsides. In real world it should look something like the attachment. A little more complicated, but this one does the job.

                Looks awesome, really interested how many dealer would take money for this family, do you know?
                Or how many revit family creators would take money for 1 family that he could make in 1 hour, few hours?
                If suppliers would make every product as a family, definitely architectural/engineer offices would use those materials more often. Seems like a revit spreads roots every minute.

                  Well, in Holland: none. No manufacturer I know of will pay for content. Dealers only supply these with contracts (and mostly make them inhouse, or ask their customers if they can use their families. Sometimes even rip them...)
                  Hey, but if anyone needs families, for this kind of money (and somewhat less) I'd be happy to oblige...

                    None for the time being. Some manufacturers are still coping with the good old 2D files from that other program, heck, most of the time we even have to detail the product ourselves, in CAD. I don't know of a single Dutch manufacturer that makes BIM-approved components, because CAD is still the program to go with. Maybe (and hopefully) things will change over the next few years.
