Hi there,
Today I tried building a topography using a 2D file (with numbers but no contours) sent by a client. (Please note, I've never built topography before, hence the questions...)
Basically I created a topo surface in 5m increments. As you can see in the attachment, it is lacking enough info to give the topography enough form etc. I need to draw contours at 1m increments I think.
Question 1) I want to show the contour lines I draw when I make the topography, how do I 'turn these on'?
Question 2) Is there a way to colour the contour lines? i.e. Red for 5m increments, black for 1m?
Any comments/feedback etc on the way I've built this, please feel free...
Thank you!

Hey - I'm using Revit 2011 - found the spot to turn on primary & secondary contour lines....but they still are not showing. Have tried viewing in different scales etc....unfortunately I can't screen shot and send to you cos I have difficulty in attaching images in these forums.....

Another question........We are working on a 1:100 scale topographical model. We have mistakenly plotted our contour lines at 1000m elevations rather than 1m elevations which has created a lunar landscape. How can we downscale the elevations to 1m using this model??
Any help appreciated! Thank you
