View Full Version : Slopes for curved floor and ceiling ?

I'm working on a circular-shaped auditorium building which has radially slopped floors and ceilings. The "Slope Arrow" in Floor/Ceiling Sketch does not work as it only allows me to specify the slope in ONE linear direction. I wish there's a way to specify the slopes along the radial axes based on the curvature.
I had to work around a lot with Solid Blends, which is really not suited for my task.
Any ideas?

This irks me too. Things I have done.
1. yes, inplace families in limited fashion can yield results, but tediuous to work with and update.
2. Use a roof as a floor for your slopes, couple the floor-roof with a real modeled floor to get floor based components to attach and either use worksets to controll visibility of each or join them in sections to get it to look right. You can filter the type mark to schedule each properly (roof roofs get a r-1, r-2 mark and your roof-floors tag with f-1 f-2 etc.... With the exception of having to get floor based components to work there isn's a huge downside my by way of thinking. you can always crwoss nest them into roof based components (I imagine it would work I have't tried it myself but I might if I were you.
3. Break your floor into lots of individual floors to model each slope, allowing them to overlap (again useful in limited applications as it could quickly get silly).
That's what i got.
Someone posted a while back a short tutorial on making ramps or sidewalks using a topo exported to autocad then imported into Revit. I've done a few searches but come up blank. Anyone recall this tutorial?Joe

I create a floor with a slope at each asile , then create an inplace floor sweep that follows the slope of these asiles and the path is defined by the curve at the bottom of the bowl. this makes construction very easy and it is similiar to how it would get built.
