I am designing a road in revit that climbs 120 feet of elevation over 1000 feet of road  by running alongside the mountain. the Issue I am having is that the mountain is at a 45 degree incline. is there any way to make the road flat, like a building pad while keeping the 120' climb?3D.PNGrevit map.PNGslope.PNG

Use a roof for your road, not a subregion.  Then you can use a gutter or fascia to create your curbing.

Use stepping building pads to bring down the terrain then create the road from a roof or a floor with modified subelements.

You could also convert a subregion to a floor with modified subelements based on this:

You mean Make Hardscape Follow Site Topography and Site Topography Follow Hardscape?  

 

One of my all-time favorites:

You can also use Railing (beginning with Revit 2018) for creating a road, as long as Railings can now follow a Toposurface.
