I need a curb that will slope with the roof it sits on.  I found a good roof curb.rfa on this site, but it seems it's only parameters are width, depth and height.

Any suggestions?

What parameter is missing?  It sounds like you have what you want.

You don't tell us anything about the curb you found.  A level based curb will fuction differently than a face based or roof based curb.  The "always vertical" setting in the curb family will also affect how it functions.

I forgot to mention that I am fairly inexperienced in Revit (tell me if you haven't heard that before on here!).

I attached the the file I downloaded from this site.  

When I inserted the curb (by dragging it from the Families on Project Browser and dropping it on the roof) th ebase is not sloped to match the slope of the roof.

This is a level based curb. 

I suggest you create your own family based on what you learn from this one.  Use a face - based template - probably in the mechanical equipment category as this one was.  Don't check the always vertical in the family category and parameters dropdown.

Thank you for your reply.  I am going to table this task for I bigger fish to fry at this moment.  Our office is diving head first into Revit, and although we have taken a training, etc., there is no better way then to dice right in.  So as much as I want to follow Revit to the tee and model everything, for the sake of time, we are going to have to forsake some of the details.  My roof top units are set and located correctly in a 2D, but not 3D.  What I am saying is, the HVAC roof plan "looks right", but if you look at any section or 3D view, they are floating.  I will certainly jumpo back on this topic when I have the time.

Thanks for your help!
