This is badly needed and I think could be done quite easily. With a lot of laborious work it''s just about possible to do by making ordinary walls, adjusting the heights of the top and bottom at each join to suit the correct site levels, then using 'create retaining wall site modifier'. Might just about work for a very small and simple site, however it will default to a wall in the IFC data so not ideal. For more complex sites it's far too time consuming
What I have in mind is a tool where you draw the step edge of a kerb or edging with the following parameters:
Width and height of actual unit
Level at top of kerb entered at each vertex
Level at 'road level' entered at each vertex
The last two become site modifiers.
The IFC data would define as a kerb or edging and return a quantity in the liner metres. I won't even ask for fancy features such as left and right hand droppers. Yet.
