Hello everyone. I'm working on a project with some evelvated roads & ramps (which I'm making using extrusions and...ramps). I'm having trouble with a section where a ramp from ground level comes up to meet the elevated road which then decends again back to ground level to turn under a bridge (refer to aerial photo below).

 As you can see fromt he shaded image, there is a..ahem...slight discrepancy with the nature of the far ramp. It's meant to slope the other way so that cars can go along it from the high section instead of tumbling to their doom.

I have tried changin the order of adding the riser lines, mirroring the lines (in the hope the mirrored surface will slope in the same direction so I can then mirror the whole object so it appears as it should)...I have even gone so far as to threaten Revit, telling it that if it doesn't behave I'll use Microstation instead, but even that doesn't work!

 Any help gtreatly appreciated

In a similar project I used a floor slab to create roads and ramps.  You can then add points to it and edit the levels to the correct height using the floor editing functions.  Worked like a dream.

Revit gets grumpy when you mention Microstation so I suspect that this may be why it is not co-operating.
