🧾 What it does
The Show Pitches command automatically displays the storey and the pitch/slope on each roof plane in the model. This provides a visual reference of roof angles directly on your drawing.
🔧 How to use it
Navigate to Tools in the main menu
Select Show Pitches
The pitch labels will appear on all visible roof planes
The pitch labels show as degree measurements (for example, 27.5°) on each roof plane surface.
🛠 Configuring display options
You can customise what information appears with the pitch labels:
Go to Set-up > Dimension Defaults
Look for the pitch display options
Choose whether to show:
Storey number
Direction of fall (the downward slope direction of the roof)
💡 Tips
Use this feature for quick visual confirmation of roof pitch/slope and storey of each roof plane during design
The direction of fall indicator helps identify water flow patterns on the roof
If labels disappear, simply run the Show Pitches command again
