  I'm trying to build two surfaces like shown in the figure. Both surfaces are sloped into two directions. The side that remains flat needs to be around 51 studs long (see picture). It is therefore hard to do it with regular sloped plates like a 12x3 (47397). I tried several things with jumping sloped bricks, but of all the bricks the slopes are too intense to achieve a good result over this length.
  
  Does anyone have any good suggestions for building techniques that would work for this. I've been stuck on this for a while.

  For such gentle slopes I would try using the [rigid pneumatic pipe parts](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=528): you can mount them by both ends of the building at specific heights to form lengthwise chords and use [plates with clips](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6019) to affix tiles or plates to them across that would become the surface.
  
  See this tablescrap for how it could work and how it would look like:
