    Default Raised Asphalt Driveway on a Sloped Topo Surface

    Hi, I have a site plan with sloping topographic surface and I want to place a asphalt driveway that is 2" offset from the surface along the entire slope. Is this possible?
    Or how do you place your asphalt driveways on your site?

    Thanks in advance

    Not elegant but you can use Split Surface to separate the driveway from the site topo then move it up. You'll have a gap between surfaces that will "beg" for curbing which invites further "pain". An in-place site family might give you a solid that would suffice but that depends greatly on how flat or smooth your driveway is relative to the surface adjacent to it. I've seen either used to good effect but it takes a patient person. I've also read posts here where some have tried using software like Easy Site?
