Site and Project Setup
First set the view to the ‘Left’
or ‘Right’ elevation views
using the view options in the
view panel under the View tab.
Please note the difference in
the view and the view cube
once this has been done.
Select all the contours, make
sure that the Ortho mode is
switched on and move the
contours down by the amount
or elevation value that you
want to have your building on
i.e. 1609.00. if you zoom to
extents after the moving of the
contours then you will see that
all the flattened objects and
the contour lines are now
more or less in the same
place.
We can now bring this DWG
into our Revit project without
worrying that we will create a
large or tall DWG foot print.
Save this DWG as your own
version of what the Land
surveyor sent you in the
relevant project file. You may
close the AutoCAD Drawing.
