This is my first "tip" for Revit since buying it in June of 2003.
I am modelling an existing office building here in Tucson. The driveway entry has a 4' slope from the street, up to the main padded area of the site. Because this is the front of the building, I know that it will be a very dominant element of the renderings and views of the project; therefore, I really wanted to model the curbs along with the driveway and topo/site elements.
I shared this with my local Revit User's Group last night and they thought this was pretty nifty. So, I thought I would share it with you.
Model your curb as a concrete sidewalk (floor) which is only 6" wide. This way, you can utilize the slope arrow command for sloping floors. I have several sidewalks already in revit, so it was really fast to pull up, edit and label the head & tail elevations with respective offsets to match the topo. Works great!
Hope you all enjoy this one.
