You can use the Roof Plane Label instead of the Arrow and pitch by specifying the Label and inserting an Object Specific Macro..... (Red Arrow)

or

You can also use a simple Macro in a Text Box with Leader Line (arrow) connected to the Roof Plane .....

make a macro in TMM (text below), and then insert it into the Text box via the Text box DBX

 

Roof Plane SqFt

%surface_area%

 

eg : 

 

You can find other simple Macro's simply by connecting a Text Box with Leader to most Objects and inserting the premade macro     %objectproperties%     which will fill the text box with all the premade Macros CA understands automatically , you can then use them to get the info needed, in this case all the info that the Polyline Info Tab shows.
