Cut Drive into Hill Side

[Doug]

What is the best way to cut a sloping drive into a hill side? What I have done is cut multiple pads and then place a drive (actually a sloped floor) over the pad. Is there a better way?

How do you give the cut a non vertical slope. What I want to do is provide a battered retaining wall with tree wells every so often.

Sure would like a sloped pad option

You can use Split Surface to outline the drive on the topo, adjust it's elevation points and assign driveway material to the surface.

Great tips for a workaround, only problem is when you have to do them over again.
If pads could slope, or a ramp would accept curved splines things would at least be better.

I accept that Revit is not supposed to solve these issues in the Autocad family, so why is Civil 3d (alternative) such a overkill for the next step.
