2 On the Toolbar, click Rotate.
3 Click a start angle for the rotation of the span direction.
4 Click an end angle to complete the angle of rotation.
The deck is rotated by the angle value that you apply to the span direction component.
NOTE You may also add a span direction component to a slab that does not have one. On the Drafting tab of
the Design Bar, click Span Direction, and select the slab. You can also create new span direction types for deck
and for one-way slabs. For information about creating family types, see
Family Types on page 366.
Sloped Slabs
Revit Architecture provides three independent ways to create a sloped slab:
Method 1
While in sketch mode, click Slope Arrow to draw a slope arrow that defines the slope of the slab.
Slab sketch with slope arrow
Select the slope arrow, and click . Do one of the following methods:
To create a slope by setting height at tail
1 Select Specify to Height at Tail.
2 Specify a value for Height Offset at Tail.
This value determines how high above the level the slope arrow begins.
3 Optionally, specify a level for Level at Tail to start the slope arrow at a certain level.
For example, the floor sketch is on level 1. You could start the slope arrow on level 2.
4 Specify a value for Height Offset at Head.
This value determines how high above the level the slope arrow ends.
