I have a model 3 story house that includes a basement.  How do I do a building pad for this?

Architect & Site_Building Pad then sketch area, level & pad make-up. Fairly easy.

You can also get an approx. cut value by doing the following:

Put the existing survey surface on an 'existing' phase then copy and paste that same survey 'aligned to same place'. Change one of the surfaces to a later phase (e.g.) 'new construction'and revit will start reporting cut/fill value. Remember to edit the 'new construction' phase surface to get your cut/fill values and use phase filters, display filters or worksets to hide the display of the existing surface where you don't wish to see it.

I created my toposurface already.  My toposurface(grass) covers all of level1 (ground zero) and slopes down to cover part of the Basement.

There is a problem.  I can still see the basement(earth) below the toposurface.  I sketched the area for the building pad, but I can still see my basement(earth) below the toposurface.  What if anything am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I'm not really sure with seeing the model. However, possible suggestions:

1. Your Building Pad Level isn't set to the correct level. Check the Height Offset from the Reference Level in the properties box.

2. There are two surface files overlapping each other.

3. You are trying to add a pad to a linked file. I'm sure the surface has to be owned by your model file.
