slab edge

Marielen_ — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 11:44:17 GMT

Good morning,

I would like to draw the slab edge inclined, how to do this? The Revit present this support? Thanks

which edge??

1. the top edge so it will be a tapered entry at the portal?

2. bottom edge so it will be a thickened slab?

3. leading edge so it will look funky?

to draw curb on an inclined slab.

that wasnt one of the options..... 🙂

if you want it in 3d, you can made the entire slab the full thickness of slab plus curb... then create a void to shape the curb, cutting the rest out.

or.. you could create the slab as a sweep with the curb profile built into the profile...

or you could make the slab... and then add the curb as a sweep of its own.

if you want it in 2d only... then just use a fill region on the section drawing...

Are you trying to put a slab edge on the sloping side of a sloped slab? Make the slab horizontal, apply edges and slope again. Edges will follow.

ok, thanks for the answer, in another case, what do you suggest for inclination of this drainage channel?

The sweep is limited because it does not make angled turns with straight lines (long paths) and by family of metric profile there is no possibility of inclination.

Use a swept blend. Draw the path horizontal. Place one profile at the start point of the path, place the same profile at the endpoint and move it up vertically.

Why doesn't your drainage channel slope? Want one the does?

Re: slab edge

Marielen_ — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:15:21 GMT

because I don't want draw a slab for a inclination, no necessary

I'm not understanding the drawing. What am I looking at?

Re: slab edge

Marielen_ — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:20:58 GMT

I do not think it is a good option, because as the image shows that it is a long road and the sweep does not select all the way and it would have to be divided into parts, it would be laborious.

It's a traced of road

are you trying to model a curb and gutter?

Re: slab edge

Marielen_ — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:27:02 GMT

Yes, but there is no gutter, just curb and natural terrain and after that, a drainage channel.

Natural terrain? Are you working with a Revit Toposurface?

Re: slab edge

yes

Hey, I have no idea what you are doing or how you are doing it, but it sounds like you are trying to get hardscape to follow Toposuface. This is how I roll when doing that...

Good morning,
I work in a company that wants to implement the 3D model for drainage and
highways, but encountering many difficulties with REVIT, do you think there
is another program or do you think this is the best option?

Re: slab edge

ToanDN — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 15:11:15 GMT

Infraworks and Civil3D maybe?

1. What does your company do?

2. What difficulties are you experiencing with Revit?
