How to create a sloped floor and a floor with a varied thickness in Revit

 Hello Guys how can I create a floor like this and add a slope to it ? Or there any way I can create a floor family that would have this shape and add a slopearrow to it ? 
When I am using the add point method and slopearrow method I am getting an error. 
SO I want to create a standared floor Family that looks like the above photo and I want it to have a slope in the Z direction . 
I am getting a lot of errors when I am placing it as a variable Floor and try to add a slope to it . 
Thanks

A variable thickness AND a slope can't be done in a single floor. I guess you could create wo floors - one sloped and one with a variable thickness and then join them:

Hi @ahmadkhalaf7892

 

where exactly are you facing the issue? I used the points to give it a higher value and set the material as Variable. Am I missing something in your question?

 Hi Ahmed , WHen I add Points to the floor it works fine the shape is changed , however I am trying to add a slope to it using a slope arrow and I am getting an error. Apparently I cannot do that in Revit . 
I want the shape indicated in the first question to be following a certain profile(elevations) using slope arrows or any other method .Like this I mean , however it would have the shape indicated in the first question

is there any way I can create a standard Floor family maybe that would have the above shape ? Or any idea to achieve this .

You can make a Variable layer in a floor type that can be adjusted by points, but it cant be sloped ☹️.

 

You could try making a Model-In-Place floor and pick the Floor category. Then draw your Profile of the floor with the slopes you want.

I'm scratching my head here too.  Why would you need a Slope Arrow?  The Floor is sloped already.  Are you trying to create two slopes?

I am trying to have this constant variable floor   shape like the photo above.

However at the same time I am trying to add a slope in the z elevation without changing the shape in it(Add z Elevations for the floor shape in the photo) . 

The reason for this is that I am working with Revit Api for a tunnel cross section and I ma trying to see if it can be done manually then automatically.

Thanks
