Site and Project Setup
BUILDING THE TOPOSURFACE
It is now time to build the Toposurface of the site using the DWG link. We can do this because the
contour lines inside the DWG have elevation values. You can see this if you set your view to 3D.
Go to the Massing & Site tab
and click on the Toposurface
button
You will enter into a sketch or
edit mode. In the tool ribbon
you have the following option
to create the toposurface or
site; ‘Place Point’ & ‘Create
from Import’. Click on the
‘Create from Import’ option
and then click on the ‘Select
Import Instance’ option. Select
the imported DWG inside your
drawing
Once selected Revit will ask
you which layers you want to
use to create the toposurface
from. Uncheck all layers
except the Contour layer. Or
the layer which has the
elevation heights. Click OK.
Revit has now place elevation
points at heights and along
each of the contour line that
came from the DWG link.
Click on the green tick mark to
finish the edit mode and
creation of the Toposurface
