Hi all,
I'm trying to create sloped legs for a table but I can not find the way to create a specific sloped work plane in Revit. I found a family of a table already created to check how to do it but still can't find a way to do it.
You can find below a screenshot showing which is the sloped work plane that I want create. I've attached the revit file too.
Please, if anyone knows how can I manage this, let me know. Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous,
You can create sloped reference planes in elevation views, and then draw on them or use them to host extrusions, sweeps, etc.
What you show us is the grid that is used to draw.
To do that follow the next picture:
(1) draw a sloped reference plane in an elevation view, name it slope (create > ref plane)
(2) create you sweep and set the construction plane to the sloped ref plane
(3) click on the "show" button to show your construction plane. you might need to zoom to fit (ZF) .
Hope this helps,

if you create a section or elevation view
find a start point (typically the level as a base)
draw a reference plane in the view give the angle you need then name the reference plane so you can now associate elements to the plane
How would you move that workplane if the table needs to be wider or longer? I guess that is the main question in this case.

I think that a better approach for making this family is to build a form, a truncated pyramid, not visible, to be the host for the sweeps of the legs. Something like this:
Thanks to all of you for your replies. Finally I've found the solution and it is more simple than I was thinking. Basically it is creating 2 different work planes.
1) Create 1 work plane based on a reference plane (blue) with an angle
2) Create a section paralel to that reference plane
3) In the section view, create another work plane based on a reference plane (red) to be possible place the extrusion for the table leg
4) Orientate a 3D view to the last work plane (red) to be possible draw in real dimensions

Doing it based on a form as @Alfredo_Medina should be easier.
But if you want to use reference plane, you only need one plane to model a tilted leg. After you create the reference plan showing in Red below, you can model a sweep and draw the sweep path directly on the plane at the angle you want.
