Pick Lines to have 3D snapping when creating Floor boundary

I can import a 3D CAD DWG and pick lines from it to create a floor boundary,  this works well for internal building floors that are created on a Level.

 

However, if am modelling a footpath along a street then I need to create a sloped floor which has multiple variations in slope/gradient along its length.

 

I already have the 3D linework from CAD, I can import the CAD and pick the line, but Revit forces the new linework to be on a flat datum/level.

 

Therefore I currently draw the linework on Level 0 and for EACH VERTEX along the line I  need to modify it's Z value to the correct height.  

 

My request is for the pick lines to have a 3D snapping option when creating floor boundaries so that the linework retains the Z values.  The pick lines tool used to create beams has a 3D snapping option.

 

If during the design process the road alignment changes then the floor needs to be modelled again, for which I currently I have a workaround to retain the Z values in the modified floor :

 

  • export the existing Floor from Revit as XYZ CSV using Dynamo
  • create the 3D polyline in CAD
  • modify it
  • export from CAD to XYZ CSV and XY CSV
  • create a new floor using Dynamo using the XY CSV
  • modify the floor in Dynamo using the XYZ CSV

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.
