Description
For a selected Draft Line or Draft Wire drawn on the XY plane, this tool increases the Z coordinate of all vertices after the first one, so that the line or wire has the defined slope.
How to use
- Select a Draft Line or Draft Wire object.
- Press the File:Draft Slope.png Set Slope button, or go to the menu Draft → Utilities → Set Slope.
- Set the desired slope value, and press the OK button.
The slope value is the tangent of the elevation angle:
- 0 means the line is completely horizontal, that is, tan(0°) = 0.
- 1 means 45 degrees up, that is, tan(45°) = 1.
- 0.577 means 30 degrees up, that is, tan(30°) = 0.577.
- 1.732 means 60 degrees up, that is, tan(60°) = 1.732, etc.
Negative values are also possible:
- -1 means 45 degrees down, that is, tan(-45°) = -1, etc.
