Revit Arch 2008

 

I'm trying to import an ACAD drawing, which i can import no problem, and use the elevation lines on there (2d drawing) and draw topo points from Revit on top of the existing lines from acad. But... some how i don't think i'm doint that right and its taking forever!

 

is there a way i can select the lines that i import and assign an elevation to them and then add a surface on top? or something along those lines....

 

any help asap would be GREATLY appreciated....

Sorry, I think not.  The topo feture in Revit is not that developed.  If your cad drawing is in 3D, you can generate points along the line when you import. 

My issue, is that it take along time to make adjustments to the topographicel points, if you have a large site with many points.  Is there a way to turn off automatic drawing generationtion while working with the topo points and do a manual regenration? I guess the answer is 'No' :-). Can anyone make my day?

A very narrow subregion can form 3d representations of site boundaries.

my question:

Is there a way to form a cave or an undercut space in a topo surface such as a cliff face or steep hillside?

If the drawing you are importing and the lines are poly-lines, it's easier to assign those to an elevation in AutoCAD then import the drawing and assign the topography to the 3d linework.
