Once again, I am getting very frustrated with the site tools (Revit's biggest downfall in my opinion).
How do others go about defining external concrete slabs, kerbing, paving etc?
Unlike internal slabs, external slabs aren't flat and have multiple spot levels. Using a topo surface is useless because they are still surfaces, so when a section is cut through it, you don't get a true slab showing, just a line on the top with a pattern underneath.
I'd also like to be able to define a driveway kerb which follows my terrain, so when I cut a section I get a true representation.
And then there's the problem with car parks that try and follow a topo surface where one end of the car park is flat and the other end is up in the air. Not to mention when the car park is following a terrain, it can't be dimensioned (which is a requirement for our local authority).
I guess this goes back to my wish that the site tools need to be seriously upgraded. We can't keep using surfaces for terrain/site modeling, it just doesn't work (it never did).
Revit team, can you please fix the things that don't work well before starting on new program improvements.
