Ramp Cross Slope

[PhilvK]

How can I find the cross slope on a curving ramp without having to go into the geometry?

Also, how do you change the point elevation format when you go into Modify Sub-Elements?  I'd like them to be in decimal feet format while leaving the Levels in feet and inches. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by cross-slope. There is no cross-slope. Draw a Ref. Plane from the outside edge of the ramp to the center point of the ramp (SC) and then place spot elevations at the intersection of both ramp edges with the RP.  Betcha they're the same Elevations.

Points inside Modify Sub-Elements mode use Project Units.  Is that what you are asking? 

FWIW: you can enter values in decimal feet even if the Project Units are Feet/Inches. Revit will convert it.

If you had the outer edge higher at the ends so that a ramp for instance would inwards, the difference would create the cross slope. I was just looking for a 'point and click' way to get that slope. Thanks!
