Ok, so i constructed my buildings prior to considering the fact that they are on a hill and am now going back to add the hill. I'm building a motel that consists of 5 different buildings but am also new to having more than 1 building in a project. Basically I built the topography and added building pads underneath all of my buildings but that hasn't changed the fact that all my the buildings are on Level 1... so I'm wondering how I can lift each building up to the correct height depending on where they are on the hill. I'm sure this is basic but I can't figure it out.

Are these buildings just models or fully developed CD projects? Are they in one project or are they seperate? It is usually better to have seperate project files for each building and for the site. Each project can link in the site at the appropriate elevation / location. Likewise, the site can have each building linked in at their respective elevations / location.

Wow, yeah that sucks... like I said, I'm new to the whole idea of having multiple buildings. I just built the basic footprint to start off and yes, they are all currently in one project. I figured I was doing something really wrong because then I started wondering how I would make Level 1 different in each building. Hmm, where do I go from here? Is is possible to take each of the buildings in my project and seperate them into different projects or have I gone too far with it? Also, should the topography/site be it's own project too? I might be in over my head on this one...

I suggest if the building are completed highlight all the elements and create a group for each building then move the group to the desired offset (im not in the office to try it out, but I think it'll work) let me know

Actually, seperating you buildings should be really easy. Just open your project and delete all but one building and save as Building 1. Repeat for each building. Now each project's levels are unique to that project and you can link them to each other or the site as I posted earlier.

Thank you everyone! I taught myself Revit through trial and error and just had never dealt with topography and multiple buildings... it's a continuous learning process!

I'm having the same problem. I linked both files but I don't see an option to control the elevation height of either the building or the site. The building remains on level one.
