floor parts with thickness parameter

[jazzsharma200]

Hello everyone, I’m currently working on landscape modeling and collaborating with the lead architect. He has made numerous changes, ranging from levels to materials. While I have no issues with the material changes, I’m encountering difficulties when it comes to hardscape modeling using either floors or roofs.

When I need to set an elevation and a slope of 1-2% while modeling on different floors, it becomes quite problematic. I’ve tried using the Parts tool, but the one thing I can’t control is the thickness of the floors. Additionally,

It would help in modelling curb stone because it will be one single element. Can anyone guide me on how to solve this issue?

Additionally, I’m tasked with modeling curb stones, which is also proving to be a challenge. Since each material is a separate floor, the joints at the corners are not aesthetically pleasing. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What precisely becomes "problematic"? 

With regards to curbs, you could apply a curb to a sloped floor via In-Place Modeled sweep extrusion using the curb profile.  You could model the sloped Floors using Roofs instead and apply a Roof Fascia for the curbs.  You could use curb-shaped Beams applied to edges via 3D Snapping and Pick Lines.  Lots of options.  

...if you are meaning that you want to model each curb stone unit, there are options for this also.  Railing would be one way of many. 

...if you are meaning individual paver units, Sloped Glazing or Beam Systems could be used if you are not happy with just applying a Material with a Model Surface Pattern/Rendering Appearance to the monolithic slab.

You can host a railing with the curb profile on a floor or roof to create a curb.   What are the issues with using layered floor or roof for landscaping?
