I'm modifying the Span Direction Annotation to look more to our office standards. I've got exactly what I need except the correct visual rotation of the filled region. I tried using regular linework instead of a region, but that created other problems... 

I need the filled region to rotate with the deck span direction and I'm running out of time on this project. Anybody got a quick fix?

I also tried editing the cut fill pattern to "Align with element", but without success. 

Thanks

Hey James,

Please let me know if this is what were looking for or if I misunderstood you.

Yes!  But... The deck symbol is running in the wrong direction.  We need it turned 90 degrees to match the directino of the deck ribs.

Also, I rotated the slab direction (just for the hey of it) on the plans and the symbol went all wonky.  Something's still not jiving somewhere... 

I know this must seem like a silly request but I have a "circular" building where the deck direction changes every 5 degrees and the boss wants it shown properly.  I'll have to note every section manually for now. 

Thanks
