is there a way to attach an object such as a side-curb or a rpc object to a topo surface which is sloping (except for viewing it from all elevations and then moving it accordingly)? I do not know how to make my curb fall with the sloping surface and this seems to take ages manually.

Site "is the weakest link" in REVIT at this time.  You can not do what you want - you end up having to do in place families or use walls and edit the profile.

I don't know if this is what do you need but, pick in the family you want (rpc...) pick in "EDIT", in Settings-Family and category parameters choose "Site" and uncheck "Always vertical", save and load to project...

 WWHub is correct, the site tools in Revit are horrible to use. 

However, I have attempted this work around a couple time. In order to get my curbs, sidewalks, etc to follow the slope of my topo, I use a floor or a pad.  Then slope the floor to match my topo by editing the corner elevation points.  To make sure my curb is at the correct elevation, I use the spot dimension tool on the topo, and then edit my floor to match (+ the appropriate curb height).

Hope that makes some sense.
