Automated way to apply slope on a floor

Method for Applying Slope to a Floor in Revit

Context: When creating a floor that will serve as a platform for a railway station, it was necessary to divide the floor into two slopes. Each slope needs to have a maximum inclination of 1%.

Procedure Used:

1. Dividing the Floor:
• First, I used division lines to split the floor both longitudinally and transversally, with spaces of 10 meters.

2  Measuring Heights of External Points:

• After the division, I obtained the height values of the external points of the floor. These points are fixed and cannot be altered.

3   Calculation with Excel Spreadsheet:

• Using an Excel spreadsheet, I entered the height values of the external points and the distances from these points to the center of the floor.
• With this data, it was possible to calculate the required height of the central point so that the floor has a maximum inclination of 1% on at least one of its sides.

Final Question: Is there a more automated way to perform this process directly in Revit, without the need for external spreadsheets?

Use the slope arrow tool. You can define heights or slope:

You can use the same formula (with actual values) directly when input the point elevation in Revit. For example: = (2,9742/100)+0,4968
