This concrete sloped drainage block is a Revit family component designed for site grading and water management in civil projects. The block features a simple, functional form with a consistent slope, designed for directing surface runoff in exterior environments. Constructed with a monolithic appearance, it presents a clean, rectangular footprint that tapers towards one end to facilitate efficient water flow. The geometry is stripped of ornamentation, reflecting a purely utilitarian approach typical of hardscape infrastructure. Its neutral grey finish mimics standard cast concrete, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into various site plans. The edges are slightly rounded to prevent chipping, providing a durable solution for drainage channels, path edges, or curb transitions in high-traffic outdoor areas.
The download is a 133 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
In Revit, this component functions as a face-based or floor-hosted family, allowing for easy placement across site topography or paved surfaces. Users can align the block with existing drainage lines or site grading slopes. Because it is a lightweight RFA file, it is ideal for populating large exterior master plans without significantly impacting model performance. Apply standard grey concrete materials to the surface parameters to ensure consistent rendering results in both plan views and 3D perspectives during site design coordination.
Concrete Sloped Drainage Block

This drainage block is essential for landscape architects and civil engineers working on site development, public plazas, or industrial facility grounds. It is perfectly suited for managing water runoff along pathways, parking lots, or building perimeters. Professionals will find this useful during the schematic and design development stages when specifying hardscape details. It pairs well with other site-specific components such as concrete kerbs, asphalt textures, and site-based drainage systems, providing a realistic and functional finish to exterior BIM models and site plans.
