Hey I am posting on a question about trying to creating driveways, Is there a special way to go about them?= I know there is a way to split the survace to define that that is where the drive way is, however, I am trying to illustrate the driveway with a depth to it. I need the exterior boundaries of the driveway to slope to its depth... I was wondering what the best method would be to go about doing this?

Since revits site tools are very limited, I would suggest using a sloping floor(or multiple sloping floors joined together as needed.

Hi There
We always create roads using floors and also have a slab edge profile which looks like a kerb section so we can add kerb edging to our roads.

What do you do when a slab is sloping in two directions?

Make two floors and join them.

Use slope arrow.

Can you use more than one Slope Arrow on a Floor? I don't think you can (though you can on a Roof). Doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you can't... but then I guess that's what we get for pushing the software in directions it wasn't intended to go! <grin>

Use the slope arrow from one corner to the other (diagonally opposed).
