Modelling complex floors, roofs, footpaths etc....

Revit is not there yet when it comes to modelling complex slabs with falls in different directions, or footpaths on a steep and varied site, this tutorial tries to fill the gap.
We are going to model a footpath on a steep site with a few given RL’s (Relative Levels), and put a curb on it that will follow the path.

1.   open a new project and click on the “site” tab
2.   click the “toposurface” and proceed to create your shape using points.

3.   Finish surface and go to 3D view, my path looks like this:
