View Full Version : 2014 Different top and bottom slopes for floor slab?

I am trying to model a floor slab with a different top and bottom slope condition. We have a structural slab that is sloping in many dfferent directions...on top of this needs to be another floor which on the bottom matches the surface of the structural slab....but on the top has its own unique slope conditions....sounds easy.

I have tried modeling this as a mass....does not allow me to split top and bottom faces of mass to create different slopes.
I have tried modeling as a floor...floors only allow editing sub elements on the top surface.
I have tried generic model...does not allow different top and bottom slopes.

Any thoughts? I would imagine this is something that people run into when trying to model sloped insulation?

Hi,

Model an extrusion following the bottom slope and cut it with a void extrusion following the top slope.

Hope that helps,

If you really want floors, since these are floors, you could use two floors, one for the bottom and one for the top slope and then join them.

Nice and simple. There is always more than one way to do things in Revit :)
