Slope a Building Pad

You can slope building pads using the Slope Arrow command on the Design Bar, if, for example, you want
to add drainage for your building. See

Beam Cutback

The new beam cutback tools apply beam join types and priority. You can use these tools to adjust visible
cutback to beams in an end-join relationship.
You can create miter joins for elements of the same type. Using the miter lock tool allows you to keep a
physical representation of the miter join in the Medium/Fine levels of detail while changing the symbolic
cutback representation in Coarse detail.
See Beam Cutback

Slab Shape Edit

You can modify the split lines that Revit Architecture creates in the slab when it is warped. See
for Slabs, Roofs and Floors
Slabs containing arc segments can be modified with the slab shape editing tools. The curved edge slabs can
be set to have either concave or flat surfaces. See

Sketching and Snapping

This topic describes the new and enhanced features for sketching and snapping in Revit Architecture 2009.
Access to Temporary Snap Overrides
You can access temporary snap overrides from the right-click context menu when you place an element or
component in the drawing area, or while moving, copying, rotating, or arraying existing elements.
