We are working on a project where we have a concrete tilt-up warehouse that will be built at a 1/2% slope. The floor slab will be sloped, and the doors will be installed out of plumb, to align with the sloped floor slab. At 400' in length, this equates to a 24" drop from one end of the building to another. Any idea how to model this? Can you rotate a level?
You cannot rotate levels. But you can create door and window families with the option "always vertical" unchecked. I think that way you can rotate them to align with the slope.
Nope, doesn't work. This option is for the tilting of the door plane, not the profile.
I think you would have to create families not from a door template, maybe from the wall based generic model then change to door category, so that you can rotate then in the project
In all honesty, I think make them out of plumb is not a good idea.
Most likely, the doors will be installed as usual, horizontally, leveled with an external surface. At the interior, there will be a small slope at one side of each door, approx. 3/16 of an inch. No need to install doors following a slope.
I am running into the same issue. When we slope concrete tilt-up buildings, the entire building slopes with the terrain. basically taking an elevation view and rotating it a few degrees. I use the topo surface from Civil 3D, but cannot get the building to align to the sloped surface, Revit wants to keep the levels flat. The only solution I see available in Revit is (and would be a nightmare) to model the entire building out-of-plane and I refuse to even ponder the idea. All I really need is to be able to rotate a linked model in elevation view or align a linked model to a work plane, since I use site models with the buildings linked into them for master planning and large scale renderings.
Is it feasable to use 2 levels, one at the highest floor level and one at the lowest? You can then use a slope arrow to give the floor the fall you want.
The walls/columns can have their base constraint set to either level then the attach top/base command can be used to attach the base to the floor element.
Doors should always be level, I don't know what the OP wanted with doors on a slope...
Perhaps you could keep the model itself horizontal and create the topography horizontal aswell, then select & rotate section crop region to position at the angle it is at for your views. You can use 'horizontal' annotation line to dimension the slope angle to.
