Revit 2010.

 I am trying to place a building pad on a toposurface. The problem is that I had to split the toposurface into three parts - this is because there is an excavated area at a much lower elevation. When i try to merge the surfaces, it oversimplifies them. How do I deal with this? File is attached.

 

THanks!

Why you don't just create a PAD rather than create 3 surfaces?

 The problem is that I need to describe the existing condition -this is previously excavated. I need to draw the existing building pad on TOP of this, the existing topography, to figure out the volume that still needs to be excavated. 

 

(thanks though!)

I don't understand the three parts.  I would have thought that your existing topo is one topography and shows the previously excavated area.  If it did not show it correctly because of inadequate points, you could have added those manually like Typhoon did to get his vertical topo area then just use a pad for your new pad location.

Is the problem likely that i don't have enough points? I tried adding more points surrounding the edges and that seemed to work to join 2/3 parts. Now I'm getting the problem where when I merge the remaining two surfaces - they disappear. 

 

If anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
