Hello, I am using revit 2017. I am having a problem with the site, I imported the cad drawing and then tried to make a topo surface from that. The problem was that the topo surface was about 600 feet above my model. I tried several different things to keep the elevations on the topo surface the same but couldnt bring the model building to it without changing the elevations of the topo. I made a seperate model with the site plan and inserted the building into it and it worked perfectly. But now my problem is bringing it into the old model for the site sheet. When I bring it in, the building isn't being shown and the existing building in the model is still 600' off. How would I go about bring it in? Or will I have to just print sheets from a separate model for the site plan. Thank You in advance.

The site is not too high, your building is too low.  (Assuming all of the site data is correct.)

You need to relocate your project and you can read about this in your help.   If you don't have a lot of crazy levels, you can always go to an elevation, dimension lock all of your levels then grab your loweset level and move it up to where it belongs.

Change the elevation of your project base point from 0'-0" to what the elevation of your F.F. level is in relation to the grade (ex. 600'-0"). Then, select the topography in elevation and move it down the amount you changed the project base point to.
