Ok, So I'm new to revit, using 8.0 and I cannot get the sitework for our project to render. I have tried constructing it two ways, first as a flat plane using the property line command and then layering components on top of it. Secondlt I trued splitting the plane and changing the elevations of the split items. Neither has worked, when I render, all I get is Dirt at the building base, regardless of if I have the ground plane on. I'm sure there is something simple I am missing. Any Ideas would be helpful.

Ummm are you talking about the ground plane options in rendering settings? cos i dont use them, i find toposurface is the best.
have you used toposurface b4? there should be a tutorial in revit for constructing topography, but its really easy if you just wanna use it as a flat plane.
Go to Site> toposurface. If you have an imported site with contours from cad for example you can select the 'use imported > import instance' option and it will automatically set up points from that. Or u can just do a simple one, and select 'point' and change the elevation on the options bar to the level that u want (eg, level 1 has 300 floor, therefore bottom of that is -300) and place the points as your boundary.
Remember to change the material type in the properties b4 u finish and it should be all good.
Take off any ground plane options or wateva on your rendering settings and re-render.
Hope that helps :D

I was talking about the ground plane options in the rendering settings, and they are all off... I was using the property line command to set my plane, and I thought that it was the same as the topo command. I'll try it again tommorrow with the topo command and see if that works. Thanks for the help.
