You can set up an Area Condition to accommodate a sloped plane such as a roof or an angled ceiling.
Set Slope on the Condition’s General tab as Rise:Run.
Area Slope Conversions
Use the charts below to convert Degree of slope or Percent (Grade) to Rise:Run.
On-Screen Takeoff uses traditional mathematics to calculate slopes. This may not be the same calculation used for a specific industry.
