Hi all,

I am using Revit 2015 and need to show pipework at a set distance below the topography.

So as the topography rises or falls, so should the pipework. The pipework would need to "read" off the topography level directly above it.

Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks in advance

Beau

I think you would have to do some sort of line based family using face based (site hosted) points that you initially place.

My question is does this really have to be modeled?  Why isn't it just a path?

Oh boy. There certainly isn't any native method to achieve what you are asking. But there might be a work-around. If you watch the following vido, perhaps you can adapt some of the techniques, particularly the last one utilizing an entourage family.
