I am trying to figure out how I can and slope points to a slab that has a curve. It works fine when its a simple shape but once I introduce a curve then I no longer have the option to set points. Any suggestions?

I ran into the same thing on a recent project.  You need to make a segmented line to represent the curve.  I placed the segmented line inside the wall and joined geometry.  It’s not perfect but it works.

Why don't you try using mass! It's great way to make somthing if you can't thing any other way,

I'm guessing that you are trying to modify sub elements on a curved slab to set elevation points.

As you found it doesn't work. You can't use the sub elements option on a curved slab.

What I do is the slab so it has no curves, angles don't matter, just no curves.

Then I modify the points I need and create a GENERIC MODEL > VOID to cut out the geometry that needs to be curved.

HTH

 p.s. you have to use a generic model as you can't have a void mass.

You dont need to create a void family to reprofile your slab. Use Model>Opening>Opening by Face. This works for roofs and area drains as well.

This works fine uless the roof has multiple faces. I really don't want to manage multiple openings if I don't have to.

Previously this modifier couldn't be applied to any floor or roof that has a nonstraight segment. But in the new version of revit "Revit 2009" you can apply the modifier to curved floor/roof.However, you can work around that (If  you r using Revit 2008 or older version) by using a vertical opening (Like the Figure provided). You need to start with a simplified straight segment floor/roof shape that contains no arcs. You add the arc as a subtraction in the form of an opening. By using the Opening tool in the Modeling tab and choosing the Vertical option, you can then sketch the arcs you need.
