Site Modeling, Settings and Workflow

Basic Topo Modeling

Modeling the site can be quite challenging in Revit. The tools can seem quite easy to use, but limiting and lacking.

This is why it's all about the workflow when it comes to modeling the topography. We will cover different approaches to modeling different types of surfaces.

Generating Topo from CAD and CSV files

Apart from learning how to model regular toposurfaces you will also learn how to generate topography from different types of 3D and 2D CAD files with different types of information. Also generating toposurfaces from a CSV Points files is covered as well as how to generate points files to use.

Graphical and Visual Setup

Setting up the presentation and visual settings for topography can be challenging, this is why we will go over all settings so you can present your topography exactly how you want.

Hardscape

Landscape consists out of two parts Softscape (grass, earth, vegetation, water...) and Hardscape (paving, roads, sidewalks, concrete or stone covered surfaces...).

Modeling the Topography has it's specific tools, but what about the Hardscape. There are no tools for modeling roads, sidewalks, or just concrete and stone surfaces on your site.

This is why we will cover all possible methods of using workarounds and hacks for creating all hard surfaces on your site.
