Floor slope

In stuff like sinks and on bathroom floors, the floor has a slope so that it leads the water to the drain. 

Is there any way to model such a slope around a drain where you can clearly see the slope? I'm thinking like showing the isocurves when they model a black hole. 

What my goal is, is to model a bathroom floor, where you can clearly see that the whole floor is leading the water to the drain

    Sculpt face FS is is good for that form.
    but as far as iso curves, you may have to many split faces with your surface or something.

    I just want to clearly view where the water will go

    do you want it to be part of the model, or do you want to turn the view on off for conversation, or do you want it to just show up on the blueprint

    I imagine the surface isocurves would reveal how the water gets to be moved towards the drain

    It should be the model itself. I need to show the tradesperson how the floor surface has to be. 

    I also imagine to turn it off when highlighting other stuff about the room, than the floor;)
