    Default Swimming Pools?

    Anyone got a suggestion on how to do a sloped bottom swimming pool?

    It would depend really on the complexity of the pool.

    If its a simple rectangle with a constant fall, i'd just use a floor with a slope arrow...

    If the fall is changing and its and odd shaped pool, i'd create an in-place family, use a sweep in elevation for the bottom, then a void to cut to the shape required.

    Is it possible to do a 'Pad' which is going to sloped in this case? I suppose we need to edit the 'toposurface points' to achieve this. I tried to adjust the pad for a earth embankment once and it was quite difficult achieve the slope..!!!

    Michael !

    How can you claim that you "Found" it ? You actually build it, and are now Astroturfing trying to sell it...

    If you want to run a business selling revit content, that's fine. But don't do your advertising in the forums, please.
