REVIT sloped floor cut with horizontal floor

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 14:02:30 GMT

Hello! I'm currently introducing Revit 2018 into my project workflow, but I came across an issue and found no answer. I have a sloped floor, coming down to a horizontal floor. It's essentially a car entrance to an underground parking lot. How can I CUT the end of the sloping floor, so that I can actually use the section? Because I have to enter different finishing layers, and what Revit is showing me, doesn't apply to the real world.

Maybe some of you came across this issue? Thanks!

Model the horizontal and sloping floor as one. Click Accept after modeling the floor. You will see options to Add Point, Add Split Line, Modify Sub Elements (my favorite). These options will allow you to split and change the elevation of picked points to create the slope that you need.

This seems to be an excellent solution. I'm experimenting with it right now. Thanks a bunch!

I tried this method, it's excelent! The only drawback is that I need two different floor types. The one that's sloping, has to be thinner than the horizontal one.

Another alternative - Architecture>>Component>>Model In Place. Select the Floor category. Sketch a profile to extrude the floor.

Thank you very much for your answer. In this case, is it possible to add construction layers, just as in a regular floor? I don't seem to find how.

Select the floor. Modify>>Create Parts>>Divide Parts.

You will be prompted to edit the sketch for the floor extrusion. You can then add lines to create the construction layers.

Wen you accept the edit, you will be able to click on each part and assign materials in the Properties palette.
