rafter grafics - steep slope versus shallow versus flat

Forte has 1 graphic for a flat roof joist, and another for non-flat, so a 1/2":12' is the same as an 8":12".


A third graphic that shows a steeper roof slope would be appreciated, even if it's not to scale as a visual reminder to help confirm element is sloped. Further, a steeper depiction for the default 4:12 would be appreciated, as the visual makes me think it's 1/2":12" in the results tab. There is a slope indicator, which is helpful, but if you wanted to improve it a little I think it would help users catch errors.
