Slope ratio in Revit toposurface

[Lorraine]

Hi there

I am still quite a rookie when it comes to revit and am now attempting to draw a toposurface in revit for a university project.

The only info we have been given on the site is that it has a slope of 1:4, the site dimensions are not a big part of the project, the focus is on the framed construction, but I would still like to accurately draw the toposurface with the correct slope.

Is there a way to incorporate a ratio into the setting up of the toposurface? Sorry if this is a silly questions, but any suggestions on how I can go about this would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards
Lorraine

Not really. There's a few ways to create a topo.
The first one is manually, by adding points. You could manually set the height difference to your slope.
The second one would be to use a CAD file. In that file you could draw contour lines at the proper elevation still following your required slope.
The third one is to use a point file. Same concept would apply of course
