Error in Subject:  I mean to use term Slope Angle, not Slope %. 

Using an SX10, I scanned a building and surrounding tree obstructions to determine the best location and antenna height I need to achieve the least amount of obstructions from the base antenna perspective  I am using the latest TBC.   I've created points on high points of obstructions in 360 degrees surrounding antenna locations, created a breakline and generated surfaces.  I want to compare the Mask angle from the perspective of each potential antenna. location.  If I need to set a mask angle on the base antenna I will but would like to determine this angle in 360 surrounding the antenna..  Yes, I could convert Slope ratio one at a time using Measure tool, but need slope angle   Even with the Measure tool, angle is not available, while angle measure tool requires a pivot point.   I have elevation at the antenna and elevation of obstructions.  Where is slope angle.  Is there a tool, process I'm missing?

I do have multiple surfaces generated from the antenna sites. Can a surface comparison tool create slope angles?   I want to do this all in TBC.  

Any tips or tricks?

Hi Joel,

If you are interested there is a command in the ANZ Toolbox module which will do what you require called Measure Geometry.
