Hi, For our site plan, in AutoCAD we draw the whole thing out (road, paths, grass areas, gravel etc etc). And then put lots of nice hatches over them to create a good looking coloured site plan. The client likes these. So how to you achieve this with Revit (I'm a little new to this). Could I create a toposurface for my site and then colour it up somewho?? Is there a better way? I would appriciate any advice or tutorial. Cheers.

"And then put lots of nice hatches over them to create a good looking coloured site plan." You can't apply surface pattern to your site BUT you have the "Filled Region" to solve your problem, check your HELP menu to see how to use it.... Also, check this: http://www.eaglepoint.com/solutions/workflow/office/landscape/landcaddforrevit.asp

You can go some way using floors, ramps and / or pads. These take surface patterns. Subregions will split the topo and that can be used to snap to for filled regions.

Thanks for your advice chaps. It does not look like I'll be able to achieve in Revit the 'good looking' site plan with hatches (especially gradient hatches) that I can in AutoCAD. Unless there is something else I can do, I may use AutoCAD for the site plan and Revit for the building...

If you are are talking 2D revit can do most anything possible in AutoCAD

Use walls and 'edit profile' for curbs and retaining walls. Create a temporary section near by if need be. You can also use an 'in-place family' to create other site objects that don't come with REVIT. Such as a 'sweep' to create a sloping curved curb or retaining wall. You can also use annotative 'filled regions' to create site hatching. Don't fall back on your AutoCAD. Do it ALL in REVIT !!
