I have a full Civil 3D 2012 model with toposurface and streets. I want to import this model Revit Architecture 2012, but when I use:

1. Import CAD - it imports only part or all of the toposurface but without any streets

2. Using official extension Road and Surface of Autodesk - it imports with many problems and finaly there is almost the same results as 1)

Please help me

I don't have the right answer for you but this will get you out of the 'Posts with 0 reply'. Did you import using "Create from import"? It only takes the x,y,z coordinates and will not import surfaces. Did you save the 3d civil file to a 3D Autocad and import it via Insert Tab - Import CAD?

Ok, now I`m clear that nobody understand what I want.

I`m looking for a way to put many roads/streets on topografic surface which is with some slope, so that and the streets.

I found the way to build everything correctly in Civil but I couldn`t find any way to import the model as surface.

I`ve tried to export it as dxf and create toposurf - but nothing good happened...

Everything what I need is to create my toposurf with so many streets, roads, pavements and so on on a slope toposurface.

The only thing which I`ve found is "Siteworks for Revit" - http://www.eaglepoint.com/products/siteworksforrevit/index.html - but it is paid.

What you can do is just export your Civil 3D drawing to a dwg format and import it to Revit via Insert Tab - Import Cad. You can also use link in case you need to edit your topo later on. You won't be able to edit the imported 3D objects.
